When i remember what i heard in the previous video
about the ego
it said, that what we believe that we know about ourselves (thus what we believe that we are) is ONLY a reflection about what society see us/tell us.
likewise, it distorts the truth of what we are.
and strangely enough,
what we are?
commonly, we can start with a physical description
but what is the boundary?
it will extend as far as our experiences are, isn't it?
so that even what we experienced a given day in a given year with a given person, will become part of what we think we are, be it emotionally speaking or in any other way
because it will taint our perception of ourselves
we will feel more or less secure about a topic
and identify with the weakness or strength of our feelings by then.
so far, can our identification process go!
or it can be very narrow, depending on our choices to define ourselves.
and so, loneliness could be a trait of character that we identify ourselves with
and again, it will be defined by the reflection of what society taught us (through our formal learning or life experiences with family, friends or lack of it)
yet, it is not true definition of loneliness
it will be tainted, would be seen through rough glasses, it will be like rays of light reflected by society on us
while it would have absorbed and hidden the other rays of this light
so that the true meaning of loneliness
which i am sure is a beautiful one, which is THE ONE,
will be distorted and forgotten by us
because that loneliness it is also what we are
for we were born and were lonely
and will depart also in that state
it is just that in between we will gather a full range of experiences
which are aimed at awakening us to our true self so that we may dig into it deeper i feel.
so that the experience of being our own friend
could be such a beautiful experience
except that we rarely take pleasure in our own company
so much we have forsaken ourselves : )
