First I learned there are other loners out there. Then I learned there are people out there who care. People who actually seem to be concerned about you. And all the time I had assumed a sort of worthlessness which now seems to be, well, rather disproportionate.

Sure, I knew there are nice people in this world. I never knew there were great people. Ok, I am not talking about GREAT people, you know. I am talking about the ordinary people with the spark of greatness in them. What can be greater than caring about a fellow human being whom you don't even know.

ya, but it seems like you ignored some others who did

No I didnot. I ignored no one. In fact that is why I didnot name any one. That was a general remark, anonymous.

I try not to be a loner, but everytime I try to reach out, the door slams in my face. I wonder all of the time. Am I meant to be alone for the rest of my life?

If I fell down dead, no one would notice. Only my job would call to see why I didn't come in. Sad to think that I would rot before anyone took notice that I wasn't around.

Hello rainstorm1212, this comment beats me. I always thought of you as a very outgoing person.

Hey, if you fell down dead, which I hope you won't,rain, we would all notice. I read your blog and I enjoy your wit and your language. That blog means a lot to me, oldgrrl. So I would notice and I am sure so would lots of others.

Well, now you noticed. People see things in different ways, so if you want to see it as a general remark, then do so. It's hard to distinguish people's emotions online;and it's my opinion. Nevertheless, although there are many definitions out there, what do you guys think a 'loner' is?

Thanks, Loner, that was really nice of you. No, I'm really not a very outgoing person. I'm a homebody. However, the only time I was ever outgoing is when I went out every weekend and got drunk. I drank to take away the pain. I don't drink anymore.

I was always a loner, since high school. Why? Because I was the different one.....Oh, well, I got to spend a lot of time in the library at lunch time. LOL

He was back in that old place, where memories were on riot. Nostalgia doesn't half describe what he felt. It was not the moon. Not the flowers. The shock of deja vu was in the ordinary things, in the vegetables and the sodden grass. The drizzle just added to the score. He realized what many before him had already known. That love is not about joy, or happiness. It is about anguish, about a glimpse of the unreachable. A vision of what the human brain can achieve, and what no neural circuit has yet managed to duplicate. Sitting on the moist rocks of the cliff, he realized he woud gladly go through the same pain, and grief. For love is a gift of god, even for athiests. A message form a power greater than humanity. And he said to himself. I miss you. I miss you like the air I breathe. The ripple of the waves of the lake, like soft laughter, fills me with a silent loneliness nothing can ever wash away. Where are you now? What are you doing?

A Weird Loner !

Pondering on the reason for one's existence is hardly the sort of thing one ought to be doing these days. But, there being nothing really worthwhile about life, about being alive, or even about feeling alive, this is just the kind of futile occupation that appeals to loner's of my sort. So here I am, by my favourite watering hole, listening to the silence of eons. Maybe I am weird, like some nice people have kindly pointed out. What they have not been able to point out though, is the reason for my weirdness or anybody elses weirdness. I guess, sitting by all by oneself, by the side of a sullen lake is weird. Fine. So I am a weird loner. Thank you very much. That is what loners are ! Anyway, I haven't posted anything at all for a long time. Even my best friends seem to have given up on me. It is tough being a loner. It is tougher being a weird loner.
Is theology a contardiction in terms ? Is it possible for a mere mortal to study God. I wonder, like so many before me, how any one can be arrogant enough to think that God, if it exists, can be comprehended by man. I woud have thought that by definition God is incomprehensible. So any study in that direction is futile and bound to fail.
