The dictionary definition of loneliness -
Without companions; lone
Why is the thought of being lonely so ingrained into our minds that it is a bad thing?
And by bad I am referring to the constant feeling of depression. The sad countenance. The long, distant stare. The yearning for the embrace of another. The pang that reverberates against the hollow walls of your heart.
Okay, so obviously the feeling of loneliness has entered into our so fragile souls at one point or another.
But why do humans have the desire to be with a companion of any sort?
Is it because we are so selfish that we must have someone to feed that need?
Or rather is it because we were made deficient in the sense that we lacked a certain puzzle piece to complete a masterpiece?
Who is that missing piece?
Or is it a what?
It seems like some people have the answer:
A significant other
A Higher Being
A sphere of acquaintances
An object to consume
An occupation
A hobby
An offspring
But the same puzzle piece that completes one masterpiece may not work in another.
How does one know?
Is it when that sense of loneliness is gone?
Is it when you feel complete?
Or is it a combination of both?
But what happens when that puzzle piece falls out?
Is there another to replace it?
Or was that puzzle piece an optical illusion?
What is your puzzle piece?
And if you don't have one, then what are you doing to find that puzzle piece?
Bueno Suerte!
