Being alone.

This is what we are: a state of being alone. This is why we need each other to dispel that loneliness. Being alone together is an inner need and an outer necessity. Outwardly, togetherness enables us to cooperate and do things that many can accomplish but one cannot. Inwardly, sharing experiences with each other gives assurance that everything is alright.

Interesting thoughts

@Om2014 But you don't believe me. You believe that we are not a state of being alone but human beings living on planet Earth. You believe that you are one human being among billions living on a planet spinning around the Sun in a solar system. This belief is proven by science and it is not possible to dispel this faith without questioning its theories. You don't have to be an educated physicist to prove that theories of physics are not true anymore than you need to be the Pope to prove that God doesn't exist.

Scientists cannot debunk science because they are the preachers of scientific truths. They won't accept any argument against scientific theories from non-scientist. They are like priests who dismiss any argument against the existence of God from non-priests.

This is why we are stuck between two camps: theists and atheists. What has this got to being alone?

Loneliness is the disease of the human being. It comes the awareness of being a person, the psychological identity that the scientist (psychologist) says that is created by the brain.

@sree251 All that after someone said "interesting thoughts?" And you ran with "you believe?" Pretty gutsy. As was the physics isn't true line. Come on dude. It's not ALL about enemies with you guys, is it?

@sree251 naah i dont believe that I'm one human being out of billions ..

@Om2014 Out of curiosity, how could anyone not believe that they're one human being out of billions. Because they are.

@Ynotisay I understand where you are coming from. A "human being" is a biological organism, a name of a life form as classified by the biologist. It is a made up name for what the scientist wants to classify to distinguish it from another biological organism such as a pig or ant or whatever. It is what we learn in school. No alien life form from another planet came here to confirm that we are human beings. It is all made up by us. Get it?

@sree251 Yeah. I "get it." I know how people who are insecure and turn away from a reality, for whatever reason, can end up down rabbit holes to assuage their own insecurities and fears.
You didn't say anything with that comment. Language and knowledge begets information and classifications. That's how humans roll. We create baselines and extrapolate from there. So no need for the "get it" stuff bud. Thanks though.

@Ynotisay I don't think you got it. Go ask your wife or girlfriend if she thinks she is a human being just to classify herself so no one takes her for an ant. Even an ant, for that matter, is actually a real insect and not just a classification.

Language and knowledge are not just words. Words have more than meanings. They breathe life into concepts and ideas and turn them into real things. What are you? An American or just a nobody with a nationalistic classification?

@Ynotisay u r right. Prima facie we can safely make the conclusion based on what we see. But when we learn to "see" more out conclusions change. So it's about expericing more than what usually human beings do with limited senses. I'm not patronizing when i say that

@sree251 The funny thing is that it appears you think you're being, uh, provocative or have come up with some kind of theory or perspective on life that only you can understand. Dude? Sit down. Just because you need to blame, whine, complain, which is typically the jumping off point for the rabbit hole crowd I mentioned, or need to give yourself credence as an "outlier" with some unique "stance" doesn't equate to anything of value. Just so you know. So if you need to parse words in an attempt to feel superior, go for it. Those of us with a handle on reality will just shake our heads and chuckle at the impotency. Have a good one.

@Ynotisay I know you understand me more than you want to admit. I don't feel superior at all. It is you who feel inferior, and that speaks well of you. Of all the monkeys in the cage, you are the smartest because you can sense that I am talking to you from outside the paradigm of reality. You can't get out, and if you could reach out through the bars of your cage, grab me by the neck and throttle me, you would do it.
