Stay~If need be. :)

As a child I always thought life without friends, a bunch of them would be unimaginable. How could any being keep up on his own, Survive in solitude, by his own self? I don’t say that I had been wrong thinking that it was unimaginable, almost next to impossible. Maybe I had been right back then, maybe or maybe not. I am still not so sure of what anyone would have to give me for an answer to my question. The question that bore so much of weight to me, all through my life; The question that even after all those relentless tries, went unanswered. However, on this day, at this point of time, I do not deny that solitude is something I cherish. I cannot say that one cannot be on his own, a person unaccompanied, without any shoulder to count on and yet moving, flowing, taking his pace, indeed flying. My surmises, they have been proven wrong. I have realized, that it is not about what we choose, but in fact about what we do, how we live. Live our lives. That really counts, that really matters. Did we live that one life of ours with all that we had? After all, it is not so harsh to be alone, to be doing things on our own, meeting up to our own expectations, living our own life. Life is good; people, family, friends, they are just so ephemeral. Not their fault then, but they are always there for a purpose, they stay till they need to, and when everything is said and done, they have to leave, they ought to leave. And, as Osho once said, by attaching ourselves to another human soul, we are making ourselves miserable, as then their coming and going will affect us significantly. While, to the contrary if we live in the moment, let go off things that needs to be, we are doing the right thing, we are conquering our own fear, the fear of being alone. That fear which eats us up from deep within, slow and steady like those bacteria, that feed on the carcass turning it into soil and water again!
