Loneliness vs Oneness
There is a very fine line between loneliness and oneness.
People have been feeling the need to communicate with others since the beginning of civilization. So, being social is an ancestral bioprogramming. It is very difficult to change ancestral patterns; even if successfully changed, it is difficult to survive as a black sheep among white sheep.
Studies show that isolation has a negative impact on brain structure and it can even cause psychosis and severe depression in some extreme cases but what if the lonely person is lonely just because he/ she is too intelligent to be forced to fit into a specific pattern? Intelligent people often struggle with loneliness, not because they isolate themselves but it happens automatically due to the fact that people are stuck in superficial talks and not quite willing to talk about deep subjects like philosophy and human psyche.Those who have depth in life are usually lonely despite constantly immersing themselves into the crowd. They cannot be understood. They are told to be just anybody else or ''normal'' Unfortunately awakening to our true nature is very painful and comes with a price. Is everyone ready for being their authentic self at the expense of remaining alone forever? Even if it was the case, wouldn't it be very painful?
Actually, there is only one solution to this problem. Shifting our mindset from loneliness to oneness. They are two very distinct things. Both involves being single; yet in a state of oneness you already know that you are not alone, because you are connected to everything. Oneness is a paradox, indeed. You are everything and nothing at the same time. You and others are not seperate entities, because of that you do not feel lonely at all. But there is a very fine line between oneness and loneliness. It is a must to maintain the balance in the state of oneness. If we lose our oneness, becoming lonely is very dangerous in terms of mental health.
