Alone on the planet

When it comes right down to it...isn't this really the truth? Sometimes I feel ok about it, and sometimes it bums me out a little.

Anyhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...

 

nope, I dont see it that way.

 

How do you see it?

 

im not alone...

 

It really is the truth. Its kinda depressing, but thats life...

 

im confused,,how is it "really the truth"?

 

I see it as a life shared with friends and lovers. The only thing you truly do alone is step through to death. Outside of that, how am I alone in the world?
I guess if you have nobody or nothing going on I would see it that way.

 

This is really interesting to me, seeing the different replies. I wonder if it breaks down by gender, relationship status, age or anything. I'm 42, divorced, not in a committed relationship...but even if I were...there are still no guarantees...which brings me back to my original thought....alone on the planet.

With God, of course.

 

I think I mean alone in the world, as in self-reliance, self-interest, the buck stops here kind of way.

 

Just my conversational tone...

:hat:

 

i dont believe even "stepping through at death" i will be alone.. i just dont look at my existence that way..

 

How do you look at your existence?

 

well essentially i believe in a higher power on some level,therefore i believe that the omnipotent one is always with me,and will continue to be when i transcend this state of being..

 

Awesome, yes, I believe this too. So I am not alone on the planet, I have a creator who is with me, plus all those voices in my head...

But, aside from that...

kind of alone.

 

theres a difference between lonely and alone..

inner peace always conquers loneliness..

 

I don't think I am lonely. But I do think in terms of living and dreaming and adventuring, I'd rather have company...a partner...most of the time anyway.

HOWEVER, that's still no guarantee that when the stuff hits the fan your partner will take off and you will be left....

alone on the planet.

I'm thinking there's no way around it. I wonder if that's why people have kids. Kids have to love you until you screw them up too much. haha

 

i have a guarantee my partner will never leave my side and if she transcends this place before me i can take comfort in knowing she will be waiting on the other side..
so i guess at this point in my life i am extremely blessed to have that..
i hope one day you find the same love and commitment in someone if that is what you desire...

 

You are truly blessed!

 

yes,, yes i am..

 

That is the sweetest thing I have ever seen you post.

I have seen a new side to you. (not that I thought you were bad person before or anything like that)
