Learn to survive Alone🙂

Lately I have been switching off - from news, newspapers, all the rest of it. Possibly part of this is to protect myself from the noise of others. You can drown in this.

Nevertheless, the ultimate intent is not to live alone, self-sufficient, but more to [i]be there for others[/i] and also to recognise when others are truly [i]there for me. [/i] That dimension is important, at least I think so.

So as I see it, it is to withdraw in order to be truly there for others, beyond all the superficialities of our modern world. Life IS relationship, inter-being.

A story from Buddhism is of the Buddha descending into one of the many Hells of Buddhist cosmology. He holds a lamp. By its light the people there see for the first time that others share their own space....."There are others here besides myself!" The beginning of true liberation, the moral sense. Empathy.

This is Love, which the Enlightened One has named "the liberation of the heart," and "the most sublime beauty"

I'm a pro at that 🤓

What you are saying is true in many ways ,but there is a few exceptions.I believe God will stay with you always if you accept him in your heart.I also believe that even when loved ones pass away,they stay with you in spirt.

You’re never alone. It’s important to learn to be self-sufficient. There’s a difference.

I've been doing it for 5 years now. I don't mind it. But sometimes I get lonely.

I have learnt it

Good advice

Agreed

Truth

There are plenty of people who meet in their 20's and stay together until the day they die. Everything is possible.

I know I can survive alone. However, I want to live, and I need people to make that happen.

Everyone you know will go away in the end.

Maybe learn to survive with people who come and go..

No one has to learn to survive alone. Yes, you can find those who will be with you forever.


The doomsday dramatics are ick.
