I'm a male in my late 20's and the thing that peeves me is the ability that women have in dealing with their emotions via socializing. When I try to talk about my pains, the emotions hijack my eloquence and nothing is helped. I'm alone, thrice rejected by women I loved and thought God brought to me... right now I'm just embracing it and all the torment that it brings cos I don't have the strength to care anymore. I find it strange how everyone for the most part is enthralled with the notion of mating, and even Christians parrot "be fruitful" "he who finds a wife finds a good thing" "its not good for man to be alone, he should have help" etc... yet nobody wants to relate to God through His loneliness. Nobody wants to turn their laughter into sorrow and break their own hearts over Him.

I have (seldom, but sometimes) wondered if that's the way they like it. My father was, and oldest brother is, that way. The more outwardly social parts of their lives were when they were young.<BR/><BR/>Wish I knew the answer, but I don't. Surely we are made to be social and to befriend one another - but as you say, in the "real world"?<BR/><BR/>I really hate to be utterly bereft of knowledge and helpless in the face of someone else's adversity. Yeah, I could think of some glib things to say, but I'll refrain. Always tempts me to say the easy (and probably dead wrong) thing.PHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292156826231664316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-79118703559759425062009-04-09T13:52:00.000-07:002009-04-09T13:52:00.000-07:00I guess because we are made of the same stuff (not...I guess because we are made of the same stuff (not just you and me but people in general) and live in the same real world.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240462070445948163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-45735623264683879292009-04-09T12:46:00.000-07:002009-04-09T12:46:00.000-07:00MJ, I don't know how you can so consistently and a...MJ, I don't know how you can so consistently and accurately describe my experiences and emotional baggage. But you do. I have often thought loneliness is the fundamental basis of sin in humanity.<BR/><BR/>Like you said, thus far in my life, I have been given one and only one answer: "It's my own fault.".Justinhttp://delinquentminer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
