Loneliness

Hi

I've been reading many of your posts and loneliness seem to be a common theme.  I've never been able to articulate what loneliness means to me until I read this quote:

 

"The story loneliness is much longer than the story of life.  In the sense of what most people mean by living.  Without children or partner, without meaningful family or a home, a day can last an eternity: a life without those things is a life without a story, a life in which there is nothing - no narrative dramas - to alleviate the cruelly meticulous passing of time.

The lack of tenderness or intimacy, loneliness is when nothing will stick to you,, when nothing will thrive around you, when you start to think that you kill things just by being there."
