The reinstatement of loneliness

Welcome people, its the resurrection of my blog. Enjoy...


The definition of loneliness would be a feeling of depression resulting from being alone.The love of retirement and the disposition to solitude. The condition of being lonely, to be in solitude, seclusion. The state of being unfrequented by human beings; as, the loneliness of a road. But is that all there is to loneliness? I doubt so.

As one unwinds in his own preferred space and own preferred time, many things come. Thoughts, flashbacks, memories actions they all come along. The idea of loneliness is as such the the idea of fainting. The fainting process is actually a natural human defense system and it is not a bad thing at all.The idea of lonelines seems to be a perfectly normal and routine thing we face everyday, As we go home, and as we go to school and even as we bathe. I am not talking about being wihtout a girlfriend or being without company. I will speak of that in the next paragraph.Rather, i am talking about what you do when you are lonely. Is it not true that you think of an ex or think of something you wanted to do but didn do in the past? or thinking about things that could never happen? For the matter, in the midst of all that loneliness, did you think for once if it was doing harm to you? I do not answer my questions here in my blog. I state my frusration and disability to find the answers as i forever remain in a still and ambiguous state. Instead, you , the readers solve my confusion by telling me if u agree, whether or not u disagree. All these tingswe do or think in the midst of loneliness are things we never do when peaople are around even when they are the closes people. Whats my point? that we belong to our own and to no other. we are able to say what we want feel whet we think, but not act as we are in front of others. we are constantly changing our "masks" not knowing subconsciosuly that you might not think the way you though five minutes ago. The act iof loneliness and thinking of things you wanted are the most harmful because they aspire you to hate, to dream and to take a wrong step into the wronthings and to get into trouble with those we do not speak of.

Being alone is sensory deprivation, slow torture, and when the soul cries out for the company of a kindred spirit, for the comfort that only a friend can give, for someone who can fill the emptiness, who can share the isolated moments of one's existence. Loneliness weakens the spirit. It consumes strength and dims the inner flame. It tempts me to wallow in self-pity, to descend into a kind of gloomy rapture, depressed and paralyzed, yet at the same time glorying in my own misery, suffering proudly in a private hell. For all that, loneliness is a state of mind, an affliction of the soul rather than an external condition, and it is entirely within my power to fight it, and perhaps work toward self-healing.

Aloneness is the riddle I must solve in order to be worthy of the companionship of others, and therein lies the central paradox of being alone - that it can either ennoble, or degrade. The essential difference between aloneness and loneliness is the anguish, the acute hunger for contact that the lonely suffer. Once comfortable in my own company, reconciled to the austere beauty of silence, of privacy, of total self-sufficiency, only then can I travel onward and explore the horizons of interaction, of exchange, of binding with my fellow humans.

People, everyday wil be a different topic. challeng that aspect of life and maybe provide ur suggestions in this ironic journey of what we call life. Cheers
