Mark Twain says, "The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself."
I think it is the worst punishment.
How bitter it is to look at the mirror and see a person you have lost respect for.
And even on the brightest and sunniest days in future, the image will be a haunting reminder of how you were at the lowest point in your life.

"A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst, he has the company of a boy, a youth, and by and by a grown man --the one he used to be."
ReplyDelete-- Cesare Pavese.
And how terrible my friend, if the only company you are left with is a version of yourself you despise the most.
ReplyDeleteTwo ways of looking at it - you chose to think what you already said.
ReplyDeleteI would like to think - even at worse no one can be alone and you are still much much better than worse - am counting myself who is replying to your blog at the least :-)
Everything is a thought and you live your thoughts. Life itself is a complicated thought process!
Indeed everything is a thought and we live our thoughts. And happiness therefore is not a state of mind but a state of resolution. Maybe we can only be as happy as our weakest determination.
ReplyDeleteAnd to quote a quote I read recently I would not want to "perpetually wearing discomfort like a favorite shirt."
But life cannot be as bad , can it , when it brings you calm words of reason from a random anonymous stranger :-)
My name is Bond, James Bond!
ReplyDeleteThis is how I used to talk as a kid to feel cool (I and only I used to feel cool when I said that). I had never even watched a James Bond movie then, but I had heard of him and the feeling cool thing used to make me happy....
so, Hi there ;-)
Pleased to meet you Mr Bond. And if you do some undercover writing yourself, I'd love to read.
ReplyDeleteKeep searching for Mr. Bond's blogs on the www. when you find it, see if there is a connection and comment on it.
ReplyDeleteIf you are lucky, you might find something after the world comes to an end in 2012 when I will be one of those unfortunate few left on earth to be adopted by the aliens for experimentation and pro-creation!
am I just looking for a good time to start? why does it never come by? do you think the world will come to an end for me to start?
I guess, it will not....probably I should hunt for that point in time...but lazy I'am and I love lazy!!
