The truth and trouble with being an orphan!

That sense of inclusive relief of equanimity of purpose is derelict and removed, there are times you don’t know if anyone cares that you exist at all! You live on a different planet 🌍 and the Earth is never a friendly place when you are absorbed by the blues.

You have friends, but these often seem to you to be temporary friends, or family, because although they might speak to the moment they don’t to a sense of longevity. Oh yes, older family members are often snatched away by unforeseen circumstances (outside of war) but these events are rare and lived. Friends leave you alone at many points in your relationships with them.

Time is our greatest asset and time is the most vicious of our enemies in this existence, this experience of consciousness. You grow to hate time at the same moment you love it! We have nothing truly meaningful to give each other than the present moment of our time. 🕰

What is the philosophy of this time? It’s using it wisely, but wisdom is only gained by the use of time and you never get the moment back however much you try to, need to, or want to! Time is the enemy in that you can never return to the moment that inspired you most!

A thoughtful and interesting reflection.
It's true that in a sense there is no tomorrow, only the present moment. But we can revisit those pleasant past times via memory. Write them down! Because they fade and change. Memory alone is not reliable. But those feelings are.

Yes,you are certainly right,your immediate family is the only one which is with you through thick and thin.And certain things heal with time.
