Thoughts

Brand new day.

Hot.

August mid summer madness in full swing. Everybody around seems to desperately want to prove they are having fun.

And yet.....

When I go on the Threads I find a lot of fear. Of being alone. How funny. Never did I imagine that so many of us are surrounded with others and yet feel the desperate need to belong. In one way or another.

A lot seem to crave. A partner, a love, bliss. Not realising that alone does not necessarily spell lonely.

Sharing is but an option. A choice. It is not the magic formula that will provide the inner peace, nor the happinness.

And ultimately the question......but what exactly are we doing here? In cyberspace? What are the expectations?

Being noticed?

Or is it allowing ourselves time to hear ourselves think?

People spend so much time looking down, looking inward, attached by the ear to the flavour of the month. Families used to give texture, weight and history to our lives, a sense of identity, people who could see us and give us the immortality of memory in stories round the dinner table about crazy aunt this or uncle that.

But if you cannot see me do I exist?

I think we have an intrinsic need to be a memory. To put an X on the pavement of the world.

Interesting questions and interesting comment Bajan; the more there are of us, the more anonymous and invisible we become, hence the reaction to the polar extreme that has not yet subsided; that of ME, ME, ME! It really is tiresome and the change of focus to WE...US is desperately needed for balance...

I get a similar impression from many on the threads..I think it's important they find their inner peace and independence first. Otherwise, the one they latch onto out of desperation and insecurity could well turn out to be just an emotional crutch, and a "temporary" one at that cool

Oh yeah, I forgot to add the reason I'm here laugh To allow myself time to think and escape from my mad real life and to catch up with cyber acquaintences I've made over time cool
