the ''loneliness'' bet

The other day I've been to a concert. I was supposed to meet some friends inside the concert hall, but that didn't happen.
At first I felt quite uncomfortable, looking all around me that everyone was there with some company, big or small, it doesn't matter.
So, one "easy" choice, after my vane research to find my disappeared friends, was to leave the place.
But I really wanted to attend this concert. And, besides, I couldn't understand, why on earth a person alone has to be considered as lonely and miserable. I mention that, cause I've heard that a lot.
"We"(undefined quantity or quality this "we") are supposed to be happier when we dine with company, when we drink our coffee with company, when we travel with company, or even when we go to concerts with company.
To make myself clear: company is GOOD, but should it always be obligatory? If we don't dare to be on our own, and spend good time on our own -that is to feel good and loving for ourselves- how can we ever be in a company, and share real moments with other people?
Loneliness is merely the way we treat ourselves...

After this internal questioning.... I finally decided that it was a great opportunity for me to enjoy my concert and keep great company to myself.

When one feels great, this feeling radiates all around to others. During the concert I've met another company,we introduced ourselves, spent a wonderful time together and had fun. 
I didn't find my own friends until the end of the evening, but that was ok!
Being alone, being with other people, everything is wonderful as long as it feels natural and sincere.

  1. I do agree with you Delta_S: actually I must say I made the most interesting encounters in my life when I was alone. When you enjoy freedom and are open-minded, then the poeple you need come to you, and help you step forward. But... I do really really love my friends too, and would be nothing without them ;-)
