The Darkness of Loneliness cannot be fought directly.

There is loneliness that we all fear and there is aloneness. Loneliness is hard to fight because you cannot fight the absence of something only remedy it temporarily. Each and every time we do so we can still have the pang of fear because all the remedies, friends, companions, groups are temporary and transitory.

Aloneness is being whole with existence and not subject to human contact from the standpoint of need. We have something to give and share and there is joy in that. We can do that to anybody, anywhere without expectations and hidden agendas. Thank you Osho for being you and making me a part of this wisdom.



This may or may not help. All my life I have been fighting loneliness until I came upon this video and text from Osho. Here, he explains how loneliness cannot be fought unless you find a substitute (an alternative consciousness) to alleviate this human condition. Aloneness can defeat loneliness and that is the only way.
