Sure, but it's tough as hell. Still the answer is Sure, so there is
an amazing amount of wonderful since in manages to offset that tought
as hell part.

Yea...well, how much white ***** you been getting lately?
[no answer please, this is not even personal, just a 'statement' of
misery, not a comment upon anything else but pain]

But a pain so succinct, deep, so sublime,.so all encompassing, it could
only be devised by something devilish.
And I'm not even supposed to complain...ha...well, crap on that.
Suffering is suffering and that is all there is to that. Eve has rebelled
and now gone with the serpent [big *****]. That's the way it looks to me
anyway.
All is lost.

Sure tooly.
Women on earth do like big *****.
And they do lie when they say they do not.
You will not find woman on earth that possess kindness and true heart.
You will find many that like G-spot and multiple orgasm.
These are sin of flesh.
In loneliness you will find more answer in the wind and sound of falling
rain.
You can experience desolation.
The all encompassing love of the one will mesmerise you until you
sleep.......until you sleep.........until you sleep
And hear the raindrops fall
Alien in nature to those that come from a world of love and softness
All around and within and without
Are bears
Brothers
Friends
The anguish of no return lies heavy on our lips
As long ago we said goodbye
The unkindness of the human animal - too much to bear
To those that cry out loud
In the whisper of one speck of carelessness
Or one moment without honour
As those with big feet tramp and ***** on paradise
Long gone that whisper that we feel
Sorry you are human tooly

What do you mean by 'never been in a relationship'? Never? or Never
anything
serious. Does it look wonderful on the outside? What do you mean by
that?
Like, people have told you it is so, and do I agree with their
assessment?

If you are refering to love, which I assume you are. What do you
consider the
pro's and con's of single life? In other words, have you always longed
for
relationship, and now want to justify ending the search or continuing,
or,
have you always valued the single life, and now want to know if you made
a
mistake in judgment?

Can you elaborate, just a little?

I really don't care to elaborate much. There is nothing anyone here
can do to help. The single life has been a lonely one. That is all I
know of being single. It has not been my wish to be single. It is
more like my fate.

You are right that there is nothing anyone else (not just "anyone here")
can do to help. If it is a problem for you, it is because you create the
problem by wanting something which you do not have, and, from your point
of view, cannot obtain.

As for the single life being a lonely one, again, it is that only because
you create the conditions in which you experience loneliness. I have
lived a single life for the past 40 years (half of my life), but I do not
remember ever feeling "lonely". Of course, I have had good friends (but
none really close) during that time. And I have never lacked "worms to
dig and bugs to scratch". Loneliness is a creation of the lonely, not of
the conditions in which they live.

Re-read Epictetus. "Amor fati" is the key to joy (happiness).
