I realized yesterday that at the deepest level of one's being and experiences, everyone is alone in this world.
Regardless of joy or pain, at the end of the day a feeling/ experience can only be best felt by the person going through it...there may/ may not be someone to share this with.
Even if shared, there is no guarantee how the other person receives this and might respond. That person will have their own context, preconceived notions about things...
This realization finally gives me a sense of why it is so important to be centred at an individual, personal level, be conscious of the feeling...why is it important to place one's own self and one's own needs above the demands and expectations of others.
Re-discovering 'self' (finally) - I do not think its bad to be 'selfish' anymore.
(Disclaimer: I am still grateful and blessed to have all the amazing friends across the world in my life. This post comes from a very personal level of introspection and soul searching)
