Hi. I'm going to rant for a bit
You know why we fear loneliness
Because no matter how good or bad times turn in our life
We will go through low phases
And when that happens
We need someone by our side
We might ignore them in good days
Or take them for granted
But when that dark trough of life comes
We're simply unable to go through it alone
We need a system of support to guide us through
To listen to us and tell us of things that we're unable to
see at the moment
And basically to be there
Because that's the time you don't want to be alone
The person might as well be your oppressor
and why you are in the low phase to begin with
But we don't care
We will endure all ridicule and depression
But we wouldn't want to be alone in the dark phase
That's how people become dependent on their oppressors
And this person, our listener companion guide support
might as well be a stranger
it's easier to rant to a stranger
Because those who know you, know you
And it's difficult to be honest with someone you know
You’ve got to keep up appearances
you know you will face them tomorrow again
And you do not want them to know you’re weak
Specially if you already feel lonely in the world
That means you don't have someone to be honest with to begin
with
So you seek out strangers
People who have no premonitions about you
No pre-concieved notions
They are the better listeners
Because they don't care
