Don't mistake a loner for loneliness??

Sometimes it is a somewhat harsh reality that everything in your life is a reflection of the choices you have made.  If you want a different result then you have to make a different choice.  But letting go of things is often a lot harder than it sounds.  Some people are strong enough to walk away and others are not.  Some possess the ability to be alone and appear to be able to remain independent or even seem content to be alone, without obsessing about having others around to ensure their happiness.  It may be that some are able to mange and cope with both the loneliness and the freedom of being alone and it may even present them with the opportunity to really dig deep inside, focus and realise that they have the capacity to love and cherish others without addiction or extreme dependency.  Their happiness is not affected per se by the involvement or influence of another.  This is a rare character and is probably daunting to most.  I suppose that there may be merit in the fact that such people can go about their life in the knowledge that they can love freely and openly when the right circumstances present themselves, because they are just content and happy in themselves and have learnt that the greater capacity and fulfillment of love exists in the place of sharing that love.  It is such people that may have a greater capacity to love because they take nothing for granted.  They make choices to love and care and they grow continually with confidence and a deep sense of appreciation for what they have.  Such people are to be admired and should not be judged,.  So no matter how hard it may seem to give up the comforts of "togetherness"for reasons of time, comfort or protection from fear or pain, consider a thought for the people that traverse the planet alone, but with a plan and dream to fulfil - and a massive ability to love.
