Loneliness or solitude can be a tendency that goes on and off, proper of some people who is prone to introspection, mostly as a way to "digest" the information they receive from the environment. Not everybody can "digest" the info as they get it. I'm one of those who can't, which is why I keep a journal (and one too many blogs, you mind...). However isolation, even in the concurred environments, like people who pull away from others regularly, or, well, the well known "office bullying" when someone or some people are kept out of the information loop and the events, chit-chats... yes, that can lead to ill feelings and unhappiness.<BR/><BR/>So these are not your thoughts. And which are your thoughts on the matter?Storm Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003995788897827115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794851864988490752.post-81885055419084199032008-08-03T12:54:00.000-04:002008-08-03T12:54:00.000-04:00Sorry if you thought I meant "loneliness" in the p...Sorry if you thought I meant "loneliness" in the post, I should perhaps correct it to read more clearly that I meant "isolation" (either forced or chosen). <BR/><BR/>The idea that isolation can be damaging to one's mental state is illustrated in a lot of <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_psychology" REL="nofollow">modern psychological</A> research. Prisons have also used <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitude" REL="nofollow">solitary confinement</A> as a punishment for centuries, and long-term isolation is also a well-known torture method (that often leaves long-lasting, damaging psychological scars on the tortured subject).<BR/><BR/>The importance regularly connecting to others is an integral part of mental health. The occasional bout of loneliness may not hurt (but isn't loneliness synonymous with unhappiness?), and everyone needs their alone-time every once in a while. However the Mental Health Association of America promotes social connectivity <A HREF="http://www.mentalhealthamerica.net/index.cfm?objectid=0AB47B73-1372-4D20-C893C11E8EC5BDC4" REL="nofollow">every May</A> as a way to keep your mind healthy (and HAPPY!). <BR/><BR/>Humans are the most social animals from the most social class (mammals) of animals so we should try to remember there is always a potential for psychosis resulting from long-term isolation.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I hope you don't think these ideas are mine. Most of the points I made were based on hypotheses and scientific research conducted by actual researchers who like to do actual research (as opposed to lazy dorks like me who prefer to do a whole lot of nothing). <BR/><BR/>I'm impressed you read the whole post, I imagine few others will... so thanks for that! And thanks for the feedback!!Sprizousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764449113845175440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794851864988490752.post-11797383873005715702008-08-01T23:09:00.000-04:002008-08-01T23:09:00.000-04:00Hello!

Loneliness is not necessarily the root of evil, nor the lack of love of others. It could, but I believe that the root of evil is the lack of love for oneself. That's the root of unhappiness and the root of evil, according to your previous analyzing.<BR/><BR/>It was kind of fun reading this one as at one point, when you said that unhappiness basically breeds evil, it reminded me so much of this scene in Legally Blonde... "exercise gives you endorphines, endorphines make you happy. Happy people don't kill their husbands!... They don't!". I know, not the smartest remark or quotation... but it popped in my head.Storm Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003995788897827115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794851864988490752.post-58081095963075178142008-08-01T13:21:00.000-04:002008-08-01T13:21:00.000-04:00Well, I have read one of them... in Hungarian so I...Well, I have read one of them... in Hungarian so I'm not sure what the title translates to. I founbd the book by accident in a library outlet. Have never seen any other of his titles though I love his style! Now, how come you've read him, but never heard of him? ^_^<BR/><BR/>As for the first reason... >_> you wouldn't believe the number of times I have done that! Best is, when you can't keep up the charade and you answer: "Oh my! Didn't I gave you Madame Bovary? This head of mine! I was SURE that's what I gave you! I'm so sorry, darling!"Storm Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003995788897827115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794851864988490752.post-18201545380205840002008-08-01T10:34:00.000-04:002008-08-01T10:34:00.000-04:00Hahahahaha!

That's great!<BR/><BR/>And I've read nearly every single one of Paustovsky's books (even though I've never heard of him).Sprizousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764449113845175440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794851864988490752.post-11539833765642146832008-08-01T08:58:00.000-04:002008-08-01T08:58:00.000-04:001.

There's another reason to lie about reading a book: you get someone a present, a book, and when you give it you say: "Man, it's such a great book!"... and you have never read it, and cover the fact by saying "I don't want to spoil it for you, so we will talk after you finished."<BR/><BR/>2. Could never be interested in Brothers Karamazov. Paustovsky is far better... according to me.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Storm Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01003995788897827115noreply@blogger.com
