I see things a little bit like this

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 The Discipline of Transcendence, Volume 1 Chapter 2

I am not saying, at any time, that this is the truth. Not at all. I don't prentend to make you see things the way I do. Is just that sometimes these words are good for me. I have been more aware of things... specially when the only thing I want to do is close my eyes and just run away.

Yestrday i was watching "The other side of the Bed", the spanish movie, and at the end this guy says: "La soledad buscada no es soledad". I guess it may sound like a cliche but it's true

Greta Garbo lo decía: "I vant to be alone"

Por cierto, no se confundan, Trent Reznor (NIN) NO ES el AlterRoRRo. No se dejen engañar por los paréntesis y la letra pequeñita.
RoRRo, yo sé que tú no conoces al AlterRoRRo, pero es fácil saber que no es él. El AlterRoRRo no usa paréntesis, usa llaves. Esto no es más que un susurro pequeñito para explicar el motivo del post no escrito por el autor del blog.
