...the Eternity is full of solitudes". 

I re-read the book by Garcia Marquez "100 years of solitude" and the words that impressed me much were: 

“One minute of reconciliation is worth more than a whole life of friendship!” 

What if "Reconciliation" is seen as "truce" with yourself? How many of us are in the state of truce with our inner world? 

I always tried to be good for people around me, in most cases I did and said and acted the way people want me. And all that was because I needed their "approval and applause" that I`m a nice and good person. The same situation was with my family but not with my friends who knew the reality as it was. 

I feel that now the time of reconciliation come to my life and the whole attention must be paid to the inner contradictions and thoughts rather than being "a good girl" for the society including family and friends. And may be it`s really worth than a whole life of friendship...and I`d continue - a whole life of friendship and social desirability. 

p.s. While writing these thoughts I remember the words spoken by dr.Lector in the movie "The silence of the lambs": 

"Look at yourself, or you`re too scared to do that?"

What do you think?

  • Behgosh , thanks. 

    REading your lines made me remember the results of some scientists. They told that a lot of divorces in Europe happen during the Christmas. From the on ehand it`s a party time, but from another it`s time when people face each other and there`s no society around them.  That made me think.....

  • Why nothing, Areality? We`ll find another one. I have a lot of questions from the philosophical to the most stupidiest :D:D:D:D:D :D 

    So returning back to the topic I want to ask you: "Look at yourself, or you`re too scared to do that?"

  • I really appreciate that at least here 2 persons can write what they really want :) I like good discussions and I like asking questions. All that we do is only for 1 purpose:

  • Hey guys I think both of you are speak from different side ..

    Finding yourself , focusing on yourself , being yourself and inner peace is as important as having social communication . we need social communication cuz we have born like that...

    But 

    But 

    But these days being top person , being in love by all, make people happy and pleasure in something that has created and made the Man far from thinking about his self and what he needs and knowing his self ! 

    People around the world are finding a way just to declear that I am a good person ! 

    That is not good at all :D and it made us far from inner and the world inside us us...

  • Areality, I don`t like your point of view :)))) For me it`s like "Do what others tell you to do". And If I don`t want to do it? Then I`m too adult to make my choice and live my life. That`s the beginning of this topic. I`m on the stage of understanding this and what`s going on in my head and I`m trying to find my own peace and paradise...

    As I remember Sting`s song - BE YOURSELF....NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY ♫♫

  • wow, so if others think that. for example, my feelings aren`t importand for them, they aren`t important at all? 

    I don`t think so. 

  • We don`t have social feelings because noone tells tyou that being alone isn`t good and it`s smth wrong with you, that you must be polite and so on, The Nature spits on it. You even won`t speak to anyone coz no need :) 

    The thing you have to do is to be strong, to survive and to be smart. What do you think?

  • but why? Why? What about the people who were lost in jungles and there were no people there? I don`t think that they were thinking about their existance in connection with others. They just lived their lives and turned into asocial people.

    The conclusion is that all that social desirable things (like friendship, the desire to be a top person, and so on) comes from the surrounding society. If there is no society, then there is no....social desirability? And of there is no SD, so what do we have? 

  • Areality, thanks. And the questions are:

    So what`s bad in being alone?

    So only other people give our existance an importance? So without other people we are nothing?

  • Areality,  I have a questionable mind and a bad habbit to ask people :) Sorry :) 

    p.s. and a good imagination :D
