Otherness

Well said Ahvant ( there were some BIG words in there).



hugs,
buddhakitty.

Thanks, Kitts! Yeah, science likes to 'define' things intellectually.  We know it boils down to simple matters of the heart, and basic human needs - love being the foremost.

I'm not usually at such a loss for words lately. But the threat is real. This isn't science fiction.

Bless you for using this opportunity to bring awareness to a condition we can all help to alleviate with simple acts of kindness.

Bless you for always supporting me. ❤📝

Spot on A.

Thank you, P. ❤

You nailed it, Lovey. Thank you. ❤

You got me using google and rereading your poem. I  learned some new grammar and the experience was actually pretty deep.

Way to give an ever present struggle a fresh face and new visibility! Very inspiring and important stuff.

Yeah, sorry about that! But science is science and the contrast wouldn't have been made without complicated scientific terms.  Not that I don't love science, I do! But, sometimes it's simply humanity that makes the difference - particularly in the case of homeless people.

Thank you for supporting me. ❤

Whatever the facts & labels & the n-million names coming outta labs n  tech n money factories aggravating the so 'otherness' you capture so perfect A...as you say..it all boils down to the one n only need .. love! Best for tge comp., Light & love dear xo:)

Exactly, Uma! Despite the scientific terms, love is love, and needed by all humans to survive. Thank you my dear friend! ❤

Tell me 'bout it, honey.....i wrote one on the "topic" earlier.
Well
done (as all-ways)

Thank you, Dan. ❤

the bleak man made landscape to come...  
very nice A.

Thank you, Nightmoth. ❤

Truth, beautifully and hauntingly arranged for maximum impact.  I love this 💜.  

Thank you, Luna.  I love your perspective. ❤

deep within the realms of marrow....




i love you my darling Vati <3

Thank you, Sweet Howlings! I appreciate you and hope you have a lovely holiday. ❤

Being an introvert I have never suffered from loneliness...but I see the devastating affect it is having on our societies, Science is a disconnect...great ink Vati.
Peace...Harry

We definitely know the difference in solitude and loneliness, don't we, my friend?  Unfortunately, many do not, and only suffer the destitution of isolation that so often accompanies hopelessness.  This is why we should teach meditation in primary school. . .

Thank you, my friend! May your holidays we merry and bright! ❤

So very true Vati...the hardest hit by loneliness are never we introverts, it is the the extroverts who are shy...life for them can be a real struggle indeed...and yes, meditation at an early age for sure. Have a great Christmas my friend. XO

Amen, Harry! May we all experience a peaceful holiday.  🎄❤

I miss you, Dude!

It's terrifying and yet so true. I think the image of something that is current will carry well into the future because we are not doing enough.
Good luck in the comp.

Thank you, Wally.  We definitely aren't doing enough - and I don't know how to do more! Thank you for your support! ❤

Wow, THAT was a mouth-full of wisdom my dearest friend! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thank you, Poetic One! ❤

I almost abandoned, due to the long words.   But persisting and reaching the end, I was glad that I did persist.

Loneliness - it comes in various shades.

Spiritual loneliness, intellectual loneliness, bodily loneliness.

Yeah, science can be pretty thick in areas, but I'm glad you kept going nonetheless, SeaCat. Thank you for your perspective. You are so correct; loneliness leaves a deficit within ourselves if we don't know how to counter it. ❤

Really did need"Google" for this one
Yet it's still way powerful poem

Yeah, sorry about that, poet!  It's strange how science labels such basic things such as human need.  Thank you for your support. ❤

'Otherness' seems more fatal and frequent in the cities than in the countryside - one child enters the "housing insecurity" every 8 minutes in the U.K. Dystopia is already well entrenched. The juxtapostioning of 'science' versus simple common-sense analysis was really well played out in these few powerful words.

It is here too, Josh. Unfortunately, it's not part of the future but present in dire numbers.  It's only going to get worse, I am afraid.  Thank you for your perspective and support, my friend. ❤

Its amazing, the things they try to scientifically analyze and measure, a pain scale is one thing, now loneliness.  I had to look up that term you mentioned, allostatic load, and it sounds like the remedy could be, 'find your passion', but it could become tougher if everyone is feeling otherness and just wanting to conform rather than be some unique individual, it takes alot of strength to overcome that..

Thank you, PR. I think sometimes our bodies overload from stress and emotional pressures just as a machine engine can be pushed too far before it blows. Discovering one's passion is definitely the purest fuel known to humankind - but, you are right in that it takes strength to stay the course.
