But when it comes right down to it, I don't have to worry that if I had a heart attack or a stroke, no one would find me for a week. It must make a difference. Yet I have done many things certainly out of desperation. To what extent my own personal kind of loneliness played a part I don't know. But it is true that in all my life, I never found anyone else sufficiently like myself that I could call them a friend. And now I simply keep entirely to myself. Thanks for your post. It made me think...  |
My aim of the thread was to say, out of desperation, people could do things, that if they had someone just to argue about them, probably they will change their minds in doing them. But when you are desperate and have no one around you, you could do bad things, given your weak state of mind and misjudgment. Usually people help each others in a way that if you're in a weak state of mind, but someone else isn't, he/she could help you or at least try to talk to you about it and convince you not to do it, and vice versa. So, it's not only the pain of loneliness that you'll have when you're alone, but the pain of mistakes that you've done.
