to a cause greater than oneself.

perhaps a friend or spouse, perhaps a stranger,

they want to find someone to be "responsible" for what happened.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

When you are alone you are not alone,
you are simply lonely -
and there is a tremendous difference
between loneliness and aloneness.
When you are lonely you are thinking of the other,
you are missing the other.
Loneliness is a negative state.
You are feeling that it would have been
better if the other were there -
your friend, your wife, your mother,
your beloved, your husband.
It would have been good if the other
were there, but the other is not.
Loneliness is absence of the other.
Aloneness is the presence of oneself.
Aloneness is very positive.
It is a presence, overflowing presence.
You are so full of presence
that you can fill the whole universe
with your presence and there is no need for anybody.
- Osho
Those who are dedicated to a life of wisdom
understand that the impulse to blame
something or someone is foolishness,

it requires the same effort of the brain
that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.

It is the only thing to do with it.

a matter between oneself
