Only the Lonely

from 2012-08-16 (Saturday rerun )

Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight. (Elvis Priesley)

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child. (Spiritual)

Lord, it’s sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night. (Kris Kristoffersson)

People used to get together to play games. They now sit alone and watch other people playing for them. Loneliness is not being alone. It is the absence of people in your heart. We alone have the power to change the world when we realize that we’re not alone and we can’t do it alone.

All the lonely people, where do they all come from? (The Beatles)

Lonely people are produced by a society where greed hardens the arteries of compassion
where a strong elite display iron muscles over a weak heart
where canned laughter feeds the hunger for simple joys
where things accumulate and values deteriorate
where people wait for other people to solve their problems
where the holy force of life is neglected and titled fools respected.

It’s sad to be alone.

“Lonely pizza –
likes capable hands, soft cheese evenings and tomato talks.
Looking for a committed pepperoni.
Small anchovies are no problem.”
Dartwill Aquila
