There is a black abyss within everyone. This space appears as a deep hollow emotion. It is there for a reason. It needs to be filled. There is no mistake in life that a person has to carry this burden individually as a means for survival. It is part of nature’s process, somewhat like the discipline part of pain when exercising. There is a necessary discomfort that comes within one’s aura which is used to build, and strengthen. It has a purpose. Growing through personal suffering allures to a mature adult.

Overeating, alcoholism, indulging in gambling or over-spending as well as obsessive gym exercising all feeds into the germ of loneliness; it is subtle. It does not always appear as a moral of “running in fear” when a person indulge in wrongful activities to escape the roots behind loneliness. The depth in the emptiness behind this feeling could have rooted in childhood; through parental abandonment, or schoolyard
