I see Bukowski, I zap.

There lies the beauty of choice and perception

That's worse than loneliness. That's meaningless. Just no meaning to life at all. Much worse imo

"Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose." - Roger Miller

Depends on your point of view and what you want in life But in my mind being single is better than a bad relationship. But the above does not compare to a loving family and a wonderful life with the right person 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 (not easy to do)

Therein lies the double edged sword

Loneliness.

Well, I guess it's like having free speech, but finding no one who wants to listen.

Freedom is the ability to choose which constraints apply to your life in order to achieve your own goals, rather than goals imposed by others. It's about self-imposed discipline - training your mind to decide the depth and breadth of your life experiences.

I would respond by saying that you are blind if, in the morning, you fail to witness the sun rise, if at night you do not behold the moon and stars, and if you feel disconnected from God, who lights your path.

That truly friends on your state of mind - there is a huge difference between solitude and loneliness - one is a choice the other is painful. I’m grateful for my children every single day!
