- Loneliness is the easiest problem to get rid of. You can be lonely
- in a stadium full of football fans cheering on a game, or you can
- be *not* lonely all by yourself masturbating. Being lonely is merely
- a mindset. It is the way in which people perceive themselves that
- makes them lonely or not lonely.
-
- If you help somebody by doing a good deed, you feel good about having
- done the deed. The person you do the deed for appreciates it when you
- give of yourself to help them. The loneliness in your mind is not
- gone, but it's diminished to an extent.
-
- If we are good people to ourselves and others, we become more trusting
- and trustworthy at the same time. Loneliness begins to fade into memory
- with the trust that is mutually earned between individuals.

- Didn't I hear that somewhere else recently? :-)

- Right on, dreas.

- The damage becomes an asset eventually, because enough damage works like
- mental adrenalin. It gets one to say, "I'm not taking this negative
- bullshit anymore!!!!" By saying something often enough, one convinces
- oneself that it is true. It's called brainwashing, if you wish.

- Yup.
