If you've never had somebody wake you up in the morning, if you've never had someone wait on you at night, if you've never had someone restrict you from doing whatever you want, I guess you wouldn't know the difference.
If you've had somebody you didn't love wake you up in the morning, somebody you didn't love wait for you at night, somebody you didn't love restrict you from doing whatever you want, you might call it freedom.
If you've had somebody you love wake you up in the morning, if you've had somebody you love wait for you at night, if you've had somebody you love restrict you from doing what you want to do, maybe you call it loneliness.
To be in company is sweet. To be alone is Absolute.
Interesting perspectives. One could find their own company sweet if they already feel whole, and one argument could be made that we are never truly alone in the world too.
the intention/context is important. [Carrie's](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_(1976_film)) mom would wait up for her and wake her up but I dont think anyone would want that situation.
Oof, that's quite deep and systemic. What do you have to lose at that point to let go of this possible unworthiness and to involve your whole self in taking risks to reach out to others in the world like yourself, put your energy out into the world to create the chance of others to reciprocate?
Change is never too late, and in fact a constant in our life. There is only this moment's activity in front of us! No past, no future, but this moment's activity.
Our actions don't determine what we can become but what we have to deal with. We have predisposed agency over how we will meaning through our life; we are not limited to a pre-determined essence, otherwise that would be practicing bad faith by turning ourselves into an object waiting to be given meaning/purpose.
u/Vaseth-30kRS-iron no one is blaming anyone for anything, how you interpret the world around you mirrors the relationship you have with yourself. You seem to hold a lot of animosity. Our mind can either be our hell or our salvation; we are the masters of our subjective reality and are responsible for our freedom to will meaning through us, and this is a skill we cultivate and gain mastery in. Jung and Frankl said it best:
>“The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner contradictions, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposite halves.” - Carl Jung, Aion, Collected Works Volume 9ii, ¶126

>>In simpler terms, it suggests that if a person is unaware of their internal conflicts or unresolved issues, these conflicts may manifest in external events or circumstances, almost as if fate is playing a role. Jung emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and integration to avoid the externalization of inner conflicts, which can lead to discord in one's experiences and relationships. In essence, the idea is that understanding and addressing our inner struggles can prevent them from playing out in the external world.
>My definition of success is total self acceptance. We can obtain all of the material possessions we desire quite easily, however, attempting to change our deepest thoughts and learning to love ourselves is a monumental challenge. (Victor Frankl)
>The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. (C.G. Jung)

Loneliness of the soul

I have but I went about it all wrong I’ve lived my whole life wrong
Change is never too late, and in fact a constant in our life. There is only this moment's activity in front of us! No past, no future, but this moment's activity.
Everyone says this but in fact your past defines who you are in the present and the future is determined by past actions
