NO CHRONOS

 NO CHRONOS

 

Albert Einstein formulated E=mc2 in his

search for the meaning of time.  Actually

he found the measure of energy, but he

tried.

 

My point probably shows  that we live

in a rather large universe and time is a

rather complicated pull and push of the

planets.  We will not even mention the

other universes.

 

Guess you figured out where I was going

with this.  We live on a planet which is not

even a visible speck in the overall system

and on  this speck there is you.

 

Lonely is a concept that creates confusion

in a lot of people.  What are you lonely for ?

I guess it is safe to say that you are lonely

for another human being.   Fine, humans are

walking around everywhere, in cars, trolleys,

on their mother-in-law`s broom.   People are

just swarming all over the place.

 

Then why lonely ?   Because you can`t touch

them , or commune , or own them, or you know.

 

Now for the biggee.  They are all lonely too,

except for the one`s who own another human,

or , and this really boggles the mind, except for

the person who is a FRIEND.

 

I am reminded of the words of the poet who said

something like, "give me a house by the side of

the road and let me be a friend to man".

 

Like most of my reasoning this is rather obtuse,

but you probably get my point.  We just can`t get

a friend---- we have to be one

 

When we get a friend we can either marry them,

adopt them, hire them, but we never own them

and in the long run we will be lonely.

So, get a life.  Another way of saying that is ,

be a friend.

 

If you have a friend you will still be a speck on a

speck in the system, but now that other speck is

a lot like you and you will no longer be lonely .

I guess two specks can make one big spot...
Very well penned- logical and inspiring. Thanks for sharing this:-):-):-D.

Very beautifully stated. When we make friends, we are still specks but no longer lonely.
One who gives unconditionally to relationships is almost never lonely.
Ultimately life is what we make it, so the choice to be lonely or not is ours.

A very uplifting thought penned by you. Thanks.

Excellent points. I've just read two other writers on this site who put forth the idea of friendship.

The poet you mentioned is Edgar Guest.
