When I walk longer distances, I indulge in letting my thoughts wander.. Today I did that..and my mind stuck on things people habitually do out of fear.. Like marrying for fear of not ending up alone, putting up with a partner not fitted just for fear of being on their own, emotionally blackmailing family or friends for fear they could loose the central role in their lifes.
Actually I thought about loneliness as the biggest fear in a persons's life.. I saw most of the elderly people bear very hard the 'coarse' of being alone..even name it the hardest challenge in life..I also noticed that people whom I can name as strong people (not insensitive or cold) can assume this situation with serenity.
Maybe it's just another task I have to assume myself..

Being alone without feeling lonely is possible if you know yourself very well, especially what you need to give to the others and to get from the others.
I think of "Frank Sinatra - My Way" as a better soundtrack: "For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught."
You're totally right..I just noted that sometimes, even if you know which is the good road, you can't help feeling otherwise..I don't feel so strong yet (if ever) to resist the outer pressure..the social one.
