Thank You Robot…….”Does Not Compute”

All my life, I believe I have equated loneliness with unhappiness.  I have come to realize that I have introduced error into this calculation.  They are not equal, and in many ways, they are antithetical and completely inverse in their polarity.  Loneliness stems from the absence of something — companionship, interaction, discourse and the like.  Unlike unhappiness which incubates from the presence of something — the emotions driven from someone else, the stress we allow into our lives, the feelings we let creep into our mentality and so on.  I now realize that I have been lonely many times but still happy during those moments.  Whereas, I have been in a crowded room with people all around interacting and communing – any yet have been filled with unhappiness.  The secret is to find someone who can illicit the peace and comfort of “alone” while in a moment, or life, “together”.
