Loneliness

[CENTER]------------------------------ Loneliness -----------------------------[/CENTER]

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore, the moon ain;t gonna rise in the sky, the tears are always clouding your eyes,,,,, when you're without her. -Frankie Valle.

I think it is normal to feel anguish when we are alone (in the sense of being aware of the fact that there is nobody to help us, support us or cooperate with us). In many senses, a human being is the most useful resource another human being can get.

On the one hand, we may have a feeling that achieving objectives is easier when we cooperate.

On the other hand, we are aware we can deal with other people so that we get resources we can't reach or afford alone.

And, of course, many -if not all- of us are well aware that we can manipulate other people so that they take care of us.

So no people -or at least available people- around means, at least for a regular person, as I am, that the best part of our set of strategies is worthless. Thus the anguish...

There are many good things about lonelyness, and some bad and very bad!

Good
- you may avoid criminals, who will mock you, or influence you in a bad way, ie sway you to be a henchman in crime.
- you may avoid idiots, who will bring you down mentally.
- you can achive deep thoughts when undisturbed.

Bad
- you go insane being all by youself, may also get depression
- for longer terms of depression, your brain will selfdestruct thereby you will lose many basic fluent abilities and they will become less functional.

You mean solitude, not loneliness. Only the bad outcomes you list manifest loneliness.

can be a premissis for loneliness, but not a nessesty.
Your are right per se, however I belive I correctly answerd #1 questions, even if my terms were wrong.
