Alone is a state of mind.

even amidst of a crowd, I often feel alone.

it's not something physical, its not something spiritual.

Lot of people think being alone is a bad or wrong or a shame. I like being alone. May be its because I was, when growing up. But I know how to entertain and keep me occupied.

And in a spiritual state we are not alone at any time with God spirit

Feeling alone is a heart that got hurt recently

As an earth I believe we are alone planet. There are no aliens I mean

we are born alone, we die alone - the in between bit is, in the main, our choices - there is nothing wrong with being alone, suffering from loneliness is not the same thing - loneliness is the yearning for the company of other beings (not always humans)

If I am wrong about this, when I die, I will come back and try to let you know

People should really look up 'You are two' by CGP Grey on YouTube for a suuuuper interesting take on whether we're alone (I don't remember if there are rules about posting outgoing links, so erring on the side of caution).

Well in that case, here's a super interesting video on the topic of being alone;

I believe in God and Christ
But rereading that
I count two, not three
I believe the holy spirit is
The power God used to create
Holy spirit is not animate
Eats no food and draws no breath

At the same time I believe
Christ is Son of God
He does submit his father's will
As the ruling king of God's Kingdom
He always will

So when others deeply wound your heart
You must not give hate a place to start
You must not learn to resent
Those feelings are not Heaven Sent
But you would know the love of God
If in your heart you find a way
To find forgiveness on this day

I hope I don't speak out of turn
My life has given me many chances
To learn bitterness and hold a grudge
And to tell the truth it's difficult
A big part of me wants to give up on love
But that would not do justice to
The blood Christ shed on my behalf
So when this life tries to break my will
I'll try to sit back, and just laugh until
the Sun comes out and the future is bright

When you've been alone for as many years as I have and knowing that I will be alone for he rest of my life, the question I want to know the answer to is, is there anybody out there?

Just nod if you can hear me...

A Man Alone

She used to scold him endlessly each day
while tidying up his scattered detritus:
messed-up papers, clothes left crumpled in a heap,
and dishes piled at random in the sink.
But now, as he returns home from an aimless walk,
the newspapers, the dishes and the clothes
remain just as he left them hours before,
and he, un-nagged, will tidy them away
in silence, but for the ticking of the clock,
his only conversation of the day
a muttered ‘Thank you’ to a checkout girl.

You think this guy isn't alone?

I have a sneaking admiration for people who think they can cure loneliness with an imaginary friend (God) It's a mind massage that works for some, but only a mind massage. Make friends with loneliness, learn to enjoy your own company, stop believing that being alone is always a bad thing - then any good relationships you find along the way are a bonus In the main I still enjoy my own company :-)

We all get watched over sometimes. The question is are the intentions good or bad? Sometimes it feels nice to be alone but spending time with people who care is important too.
