Loneliness

Loneliness is the state you’re in, but in your world, it’s recognized as a flash of sorrow, as something, which by its very existence, brings unease and causes fear. But, if you could see it in its entirety, loneliness would seem to you like a beautiful painting someone unjustly put in some obscure corner of a museum.
If you were to spend your entire life in loneliness, you’d learn that loneliness doesn’t exist as long as you have at least one friend—yourself, and as long as your friend wants to be with you. Real loneliness only begins when you lose that friendship; only then, can you say you’ve experienced loneliness with all its fear and sorrow.
The unjustly accused loneliness is a feeling that exists in all of you; only sometimes, it’s clearer, and sometimes, due to the circumstances surrounding you, it’s hiding, waiting for the perfect moment to surface victoriously and cause a storm to brew inside you—a storm which will wash away everything that has long been accumulating inside you, waiting for a release.
You might need hours, perhaps days, maybe even years, to understand how much you gained from that storm, how much freedom and what crystal-clear vision—vision that you can direct at everything around you, seeing your life out of all that surrounds you.
Clarity of vision is what you gain with loneliness, and that’s why you should thank it.
The beginning and the end of each life start in what you call loneliness. You come with it and you leave with it. It’s only in between that you have the constant need to prove your existence through others; to prove to yourself that you’re alive by seeing it in the eyes of others, hearing it in the words of others, and feeling it in the emotions of others.
And because that’s something which can’t bring you the comfort you desire, you constantly seek more and more powerful experiences of yourself in others.
If you could accept that you’re the only one who needs to show yourself to you, you’d realize how easy it is to live this life exactly the way you wish to—without loneliness, with a lasting friend who’s always at your side, ready to offer you support whenever you need it—with yourself. You’d be living with someone who feels what he is so strongly and in all his fullness, and in that way, makes it possible for you to experience everything you want.
Life is here for you to live it; you’d already chosen your company before you arrived, and everyone else is just another being like you, who is here so you can spend time together, love each other, and help each other. Everything else is just a form of coexistence which distances you from yourself, from what it is you’ve come here with.
Look at your loved ones as others who are here just like you, with their own burdens of existence, with everything they have and everything that awaits them. Watch and observe, and then act according to your own discretion, in a way that’s best for those beside you and for yourself. That’s the only way for you to understand that what you’re running away from most is what will purify you the best and bring the greatest lessons, chances for growth and triumphs.
So, spend time with each other and with yourself; enjoy life.
