I'm back, after a long gap of 6 months...will update once a week, at least, from now on.

Was discussing the frightful level of loneliness and lack of authenticity in human life with a friend.
There is a severe lack of substance in human interactions. Which leads to a host of problems for EVERYONE.
Too much polite conversation is bad for health. Lack of proper expression of how one feels leads to a severely restricted flow of life within us...
We often think we can express ourselves to a "REAL" friend...but years of repression and polite, careful conversation turns into a habit. We are unable to express. And if we do succeed in expressing things to a friend, it leaves us feeling afraid, vulnerable...
________________
So what is the answer? The answer lies in finding a channel for expressing SORROW...
The basic concept:
Fundamental to healing is catharsis. Slow or fast. It does not matter. As long as the catharsis happens.
Expression of sorrow is catharsis. All the emotions that the body has repressed, if they start flowing again, it leads to health.
So crying is actually a GOOD thing.
______________
Through pain and tears, strength and life appear...and nothing heals like the graceful expression of sorrow...
K.D. Lang peforms "Crying", originally by Roy Orbison. Beautiful performance by a saintly presence...

It has been a long time. Life gets to us all. With regards to your most current post, is it not obvious that we have evolved into a man eat man type of syndrome. People use each other and abuse each other to get ahead so it seems and yet they themselves find out in the end that lonliness is there to grasp them also. So- when you look upon those faces, what is it that you see? Most will cover it up with mundane things of life, yet we all face or experience some type of lonliness. It is what we make of it. We can be alone in people, but alive in the inner sanctum of our souls.
Look to those that have a joy about themselves that cannot be explained. In that you will find a light that one can gravitate to. Lonliness is not an option- but a choice that individuals make.
