Leaving on a jet plane

All my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here, outside your door.
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn',
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.


My reasoning of bieng depressed with loneliness was of a situation when you do not have somebody to share time with. Man or beast. But today, that definition somehow doesnt seem to hold any water. Because ive seen loneliness in people who seem to be always with someone. And at the same time people like ascetics who live all by themselves never seem to be depressed by loneliness!

Picturise a situation when you are stranded on an island and hence a situation when the mind(heart?) thinks that one's lost and the moment you see someone arriving, you banish the thought of being of lost reasoning bieng that since someone is here, i cant be lost. Never mind if the other person is also lost!!

So it really means that there could be 2 lost souls who think that the other person is not lost and so derive a (false?) sense of security from this reasoning and so when they seperate again they become lost and lonely again!!

The very concept of marraige and living with a family of course is for companionship and the reasoning behind it again is that one would be lonely otherwise. The undercurrent is again of security in the others' presence!

Thinking on these lines i guess that loneliness is just a state of mind. A state of self conceptaulisation that takes cognizance of the surroundings rather than the intrinsic self!

What would happen to a man who finds himself?, a man who realises himself? An enlightened soul?. Lo and behold he is never lonely 'cause he has found "himself" and so is not lost anymore!!

So i guess finding ourselves is the key. Matrix revisited!!

I came, I saw, I slept
