The reason you feel lonely

Loneliness is not the absence of other people. Its lack of completeness of the moment. The feeling of loneliness is like a broken circle, that you can’t mend no matter what you attempt.

The truth is that we are overly reliant on others to complete our moments. What we lack is a meaning, and a purpose in life. When you find the purpose of life you become blissful. For such a person there is no loneliness, just peace and fulfilment.

Some of my soul destroying, loneliest moments have been when I’m in a crowd of people. It’s lack of connection, and whether you find that connection with others or in some type of work or activity, or whatever brings that connection to you, without it, you may as well be drifting in outer space as the only life form in the universe because that’s what it feels like without connection.
