Karl Jung thought loneliness comes from not lack of company

but instead, a supposed inability to express ideas and accompanying soul.

So as usual, its the person's fault first last and always.

Good thing I never wasted a few cool million hiring him.

Loneliness happens cause no one could give a hot burning dam what anyone is wants knows or thinks.

There's a lot of things the intellectual will formulate that misses the point that common sense has naturally. Modernity, and now which is terminally ill modernity is just selfishness and not being in the least interested in others unless one is being manipulative about things. With the internet, it maximalizes this bent in human nature to be more closed off to the reality of what the other is, a real living person just like themselves, who is going through things just as real as the things the thinker is going through.

In this malaise I feel that when we come across something or someone that gets through all our built in defenses and "armor" makes it worth it, having a difficult time as the normal, and then seeing things clearly, by having a perspective shift.

I just gave Ella Fitzgerald's If I Give My Love to You a peek, i've not seen a barbershop quartet version yet, but that reminds me there was a barbershop quartet song at the end of a Ken Russell film about a famous and scandalous dancer, Bye Bye Blackbird, and not the version of the Beatles, that if I ever find it will be a glorious day!!
