Solitude

It is inevitable that at some stage in all our lives that the loneliness creeps into our lives. Surrounded by a see of faces one can still feel alone. Surrounded by a sea of bodies, none can give you the warmth needed. Surrounded by a symphony of voices, yet none sing true to resonate the soul.

Below are the lyrics to the song Bu Hui Ai by Fahrenheit:

只剩下冰冷空气陪我一整晚
zhi sheng xia bing leng kong qi pei wo yi zheng wan
The only remainder is the icy cold air that is with me all night
寂寞却多到塞车根本无法动弹
ji mo que duo dao sai che gen ben wu fa dong dan yeah~
Loneliness like a traffic jam, makes it impossible to move
一翻身我在半夜突然就醒来
yi fan shen wo zai ban ye tu ran jiu xing lai
I turn over, and suddenly I am awake at midnight
梦里你的唇柔软
meng li ni de chun rou ruan
Yet my lingering dreams, remind me of your soft lips

And yes they can't sing, and yes they are only famous cause of their good looks. But one cannot deny the lyrics and their meaning.

And so one ponders the ability of a person to have such an effect. The ability for one person to amplify the winter's air. The ability of one person, to in still motionless. The ability of one person, to forever change the night into a slumberless night of sighs....

Despite all this, this is rather a pessimistic outlook. Once upon a time, this would have been the outlook for me... yet one often forgets that being so distracted in the downfalls of life they forget to view the progression they have made.

Whilst the ability of a person can and is to instill such pains into a life, it is also has the ability to become the friendly face in the see, the body that shields the cold, the voice that sing true to the soul.

And so the question remains, will the hurt and pain be worth the happiness and joy? Whilst the answer is subjective to the views of the individual, one can ask what happiness and joy isn't worth the pain and hurt? What amount of pain and hurt are you willing to suffer for one moment with the people most important to you?

Is it this level of pain and hurt willing to suffer an indication of the level of importance to you? Whilst it is argumentative, it hardly seems conclusive. It becomes a subjective level to the individual. As for me, those close to me will understand that to me my inner circle is the world, and a single moment with any one of them is worth everything that I can suffer.
