How many of you have chosen the route to just being single and enjoy it?

The loneliness can't ever be beaten. And for that, you will always wish that you had someone. Being married is superior.

Loneliness isn't something that can be removed. While loneliness is a dangerous cause of death, it's not something you can just fight, being in a relationship just masks the loneliness. It's an illusion. It doesn't necessarily go away when you get a relationship either. I've heard stories of people ending up very lonely and depressed in relationships they were in, mainly because they don't have the courage to be by and develop themselves first. I think too many people treat loneliness as a bad thing. I treat it as a message that there is something I am supposed to be doing which helps me grow in the future.
