Peace family..Today I wanted to explore the idea of being alone. At first glance I cee alone as "A/llah" "L/ove" One..loosley meaning "most high understanding of self". The only person you can ever truly know is one's self, as you are the only person who is with you on every and all levels, at every and all times. Being alone is when the height of realization and mental replenishment occurs. Many people value being alone, yet some people truly DREAD it. I gather that the people who do not enjoy being alone are not satisfied with themselves on some level or cannot resolve some of the thoughts/ideas that are habitually in the forefront of their conscious mind. Plainly enough, they don't have a "most high understanding of self". Not having this understanding plagues their psyche and oft times the best way to escape the preoccupation with not understanding self is by interacting with other people.Hiding among the crowd,if you will. People who do this normally base their perception of self on the accomplishments or failures of others. This is how they determine their status,so to speak. Its like wearing something stupid looking because its the popular trend..people know it looks stupid, but there's less chance of feeling stupid for it when others are wearing it too.This logic proves a level of understanding, indeed,a basic one. True fulfillment comes from establishing your own values and system of what is worth and what is worthless. Looking outside self for these things is an exercise in savage pursuit. Ironically enough, the savage pursues happiness, yet never obtains it..He/she too ends up alone..the difference is a savage is pursuing false aspects of happiness,in the hopes of escaping his/her own self..To escape being alone..as if that's possible..yet the concept shows the unrest..the battle within the psyche of a lot of people..
