On lonliness: A Very Brief, and Strictly Basic Analysis Regarding the Existential Context of Lonliness.
Loneliness is altogether in the same moment wonderful/terrible/beautiful/horrific.
wonderful because there is nothing to hold you to anything, providing in an instant a measured sort of autonomy. At the same time, terrible because the weight of this acute responsibility can be crushing, sometimes suffocating. But beautiful in that, accepting the responsibility of yourself as self, a new awareness can be determined through this responsibility and taken up as a challenge for the self, making one stronger. Horrible in that, even though one can take up this existential responsibility, it is only the specific individual that can understand the strength and responsibility specific to their subjective situation in the world. Thus creating a cyclical structure of loneliness, strength, and existential responsibility to overcome the loneliness.
Strength through persistence with a responsibility to persist.
Thanks for reading if you did. I'm not feeling all emo or depressed or anything like that. I just sat down and started thinking philosophically about the concept of loneliness and tried to hash out the ideas in text. Clear? Concise? I hope so.
