These two words (alone, lonely) in the posting title are rooted from the same source i.e. the human condition. Both are given to all & is theirs to command or not. A human being, in & of themselves, has so much to offer mainly because of their unique creation make-up & purpose. One thing that stands out is we are not a creation of solitude. Ponder this for a moment
ALONE?
Having no one else present or being on one's own is considered being "alone". That is impossible by its definition. We live on a planet of multi-trillion life forms both seen & unseen, known & unknown, inside & outside of us. Nothing can claim "they" are alone. But yes, you can be alone within a crowd, your home or car & even in your own mind but not literally only in a manner of speaking & sharing
LEAVE ME ALONE
Here is another application to consider. When a person has had enough, perhaps from another person (?), leave me alone is literal. It is a form of recovery action from a not so inviting scenario. Not now, or leave me be, when invoked, gets to work! The choice to engage or not is honored as it should be. Scoot!
ALONE for CAUSE
When a person wants or needs to focus, & the reasons vary, being left to themselves is necessary to bring about a result or an action called focus. It can be important or ritual, but distractions are denied & kept out. However, afterwards, one reenters the populace or mix as preferred or not. NOTE: Solitude takes effort
WORTHY NOTE: Not only is everything connected (think atoms, molecules & quarks & ?), but all was designed to interact, compliment & enhance.
LONELY
Our make-up is such where it is not well or normal to be without the company of another. Whether it is a pet, a person, material item, keepsake or sometimes a place, another person (or things) brings value & perspective into our private world.
SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING
Nothing (no-thing), can exist without LIFE which is God. It is as simple as that. Nothing is self-propelled but instead, serves at the pleasure of the Creator can create, destroy & recreate at will without understanding or explanation. We are part of a giant unexplained dynamic as is all. Participation is mandatory
WORTHY NOTE: All some-things start out as no-things (nothing).
CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE
It is not good or preferred for mankind to be alone as within the human being is something that craves, makes itself known, to have, accept & enjoy another life form for multiple reasons. At the same time, periods of being alone intermesh & are acceptable. Moderation, necessity & purpose all dictate accordingly
OUR LIKE-KIND
We seek life everywhere. Why? It is our default. On a personal pursuit level, a companion, helpmate, friend, mentor, neighbor, acquaintance or stranger plus more intimate connections (marriage) add purpose serve & drive us for good
WORTHY NOTE: that the absence of all of the above invokes remorse, sadness & a type of unexplainable loss. That's how deep this can go
WANT COMPANY?
Turn to any compass point & behold wherever you go, you are there along with others. Turn it up too. Volunteer, explore your workforce, time-out with a friend or neighbor are just a few options. Becoming a good listener attracts people too along with quality questions asked & answered. Your interaction is your choice
WORTHY NOTE: Pets remain remarkable when explored mainly because we domesticated them. Why? The NEED for a companion or life form is strong & depending on the pet, willingly returned feelings. Cats purr? Dogs snuggle?
INTIMACY
This is where we understand or are understood by another & we not only like this but pursue it actively & continually throughout our life. It is rewarding beyond words so much so that when we don't get it or lose it, we take obvious notice of it
WORTHY NOTE: Interesting as we tend to punish people by isolating them
From molecules to planets, microcosms to macrocosms, to seen & unseen to even our thoughts & beliefs, we are constantly aware of the presence of other life potentials while we ponder it all above, below & within in this lifetime
