Lonely

This loneliness thing is a mystery.

You can be so lonely in a crowd. Lonely with your friends. Lonely with your family. Lonely with yourself.

As you are smiling and wowing the crowd your guts are twisted upside down and inside out belying the performance you are giving.

We humans experience a dual nature. The "here I am world" look; the reality inside.

The loneliness comes from uniqueness. Our unique selves, buried deep, can't seem to connect with anyone. Our wants, wishes, desires, seem unattainable after the age of 6.

Cruel irony that everybody is alone but we cannot be alone together. The guy standing next to you is as bewildered as you are but there is no connection. Everybody you run into today will be lost and searching but the vibe will not translate.

We have broken the psychic connection between us.

The world is weighted down with loneliness. Amazing it still orbits true. It should fly off course and spin off into the cold, blackness of a sunless journey.

This would be a relief for billions of people.
