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 .

This describes how I feel so well. I always feel so lonely in this vast universe, even when surrounded by other "specks." It is often hard for me to relate to people, but when I do find someone I click with, it gives my life light where I would otherwise get lost. I can only hope to do the same for them. Thank you for sharing these very interesting thoughts.

Very true words. Must be a friend to have one. Sometimes it's hard to open yourself up, if you've been hurt before by a 'friend.' Kudos to those that stick with you until the walls come down.

Lovely write so true, you wont find a friend unless you know how to be a friend.

Yes. The only human being you can own is a slave. And a slave is not a friend. I have friends, but Idon't really touch them, and they don't really touch me. And I've learned to live with that.

I liked the " on their mother-in-law`s broom" touch, though I adore my mother-in-law.
And yes, true what you say..You have to be a friend before you can claim that you "have" friends.
