Today's entry is on loneliness.
Loneliness is something that plagues everybody.
You can be among a crowd of people but, you feel really lonely inside, because, non in the crowd seems to connect with you.
Loneliness..can be in the soul. Having the lack of someone to share your emotions or intellectual thought.
And connection.
Its rare to find someone who really connects. Who can understand you from within, and whom u can be comfortable with to share your innermost.
In our desire to be connected sometimes...
We pretend to be people we are not
Heh..even tho we can laugh and talk and seemingly connect...
We don't and our souls are lonely..crying out for betta companionship.
And you dun realise this until u meet someone u can really connect with, and you pour out ur soul.
It is also then...
When we have an intimacy with the Lord that...we realise
We can pour out our soul to Him, and that He always understand.
Esp when...
Humans fail..and are never always there.
Seeking love in the wrong places, can cost us great pain. And seeking affirmation from the wrong places, is only temporal.
Okie..heh

think u've said it all.. =7
yah...
what to do.
...
it's hard to find someone you feel you wanna connect with who wants to connect with you, tt's doubly hard..
Someone u wanna know who knows you.
The expectation to connect.... brings great disappointment..
But there are several levels of connection... :P
Connection comes when we don't expect it, sometimes (maybe precisely cos it exceeds our expectations) ....
We cannot hanker after the great connection..
But be satisfied/contented..(n pray He doesnt leave us alone in trying times?)
For somewhere, i heard before too that no one makes u lonely but urself.:/..
paiseh ah.... think i missed your main point...
It dawned on me this morning as i was walking around preparing 4 the new day....:P
Mmm... i had said that the individual pursuit for Him can get lonesome..
Think you said that quite on the contrary, to yearn to be with Him is the greatest solution to loneliness as no human can completely understand us.
I agree that to have a personal relationship with Him is essential ....
But at the same time, what u said n what i said are not mutually exclusive la.. I think..
as no man is an island, and we need fellowship (sharing, support) as well for the faith to increase by leaps and bounds...
