Loneliness makes me happy | |

Since then I have been living off of savings and fulfilling a few private monthly networking contracts to pay the mortgage and bills. I only need 3 more clients to be covering all my expenses. With my ex-fiance and her dad, I restored the main floor and have converted my basement into an office with a guest bedroom and storage to better meet contracted obligations. I'm currently reading Lysander Spooner's "Let's Abolish Government" and Spencer Heath's "Citadel, Market and Altar : Emerging Society." It's been nice to have time to read and travel. For weeks at a time I've been able to live in the deserts, mountains, and forests with a camper restored over the last two years. I enjoy being a pioneer, which I believe brings me some thrill that only experiences of self-mastery can. Recently I have been enjoying the company of a new girl. However, over the last few days I have found myself preferring to be alone. It seems there is little reward to spending time with a partner in absence of the synergy built over time between live-in lovers who are committed to common causes. Without the hope of having a child and rearing family with a partner, I have no sexual interest. Therefore, it occurs to me that perhaps if life is suffering, then love is the pain we enjoy. So here in this loneliness I choose to be happy. Now I return to the sources of knowledge and inspiration I have known in the past: family, books, and Internet forums. Herein what new pain will be discovered to motivate me toward new heights? You are an introvert. You feel the need to be alone to recharge your batteries. It can give you a sense of happiness. There is a difference between being alone and loneliness. Loneliness incorporates sadness. Being alone doesn't always mean unhappiness. |
