Loneliness is the human condition

February 16, 2014

Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way. ~Janet Fitch

    I like this but would not use "loneliness" as it makes it sound to negative, and would also loose the word "cattle" and  substitute society / other people

    Lonelyness is required at times only. Mixing up with one another will make us extremely advantageous soas to achieve desired goals.

    Thanks for this inspiration. ..loneliness can make you feel sick..rejection after 20 years of marriage can brake you..my ex husband left me for a woman 22 years younger than me..this is so difficult to get over him..we are divorced now for one year. .

    True but there people who just fear loneliness. It's kind of solitaru confinement…though it might lead to self discovery.

Live & Die for Buddhism

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
