There's so many strange places I'd like to be but none of them permanently

Song Of The Moment

As much as I want to listen to jaded and rage-filled music to drown out the lonliness of being single, it just doesn't work. Can't fight against a fact of Life, an inevitability. I guess one of the hardest things to do, from the time you are thrust into social resoning to the time your reasoning is taken away from you, is to accept things as they are.

Being alone is liveable if you have never had anyone close to you. Hermits aren't crazy...they are just living the single life to the max, really. But after leaning on too many ledges, only to have them crumble, fall apart or just disappear, you learn not to trust the leaning post. You stand straight-up more, your legs get tired alot and you stop trusting freely.

On the other hand, you want to see the other side of the fence again. You want to be where the suns rises and sets and everything is set and real. That place is not here though. And as much as I'd like to walk back into the normalacy of "being with someone", pattern tells me that it does not last and instict tells me I would lose whatever I have right now.

Hey man,
Such is life. Being single is far easier than "being with someone" and while it may be nice to have someone hold you close at the end of the day, most days the price is too high to pay.

Trust no one, believe the lie.

Peace, Love, Empathy...

"Cynicism (Greek κυνισμός) was originally the philosophy of a group of ancient Greeks called the Cynics, founded by Antisthenes.

Presently the word generally describes the opinions of individuals who maintain that self-interest is the primary motive of human behavior, and who are disinclined to rely on sincerity, human virtue, or altruism."

Yup, sounds about right to me!
