I know someone who thinks he will remain alone forever. But he views it as negative. However, I'd like you to keep in mind it is a personality thing. Some people just are not suited to be with someone else. If you wish to be alone all the more power to you. Second of all, you must look to what your definition of alone is. Are you saying you will never have a relationship partner or are you saying NO ONE ever will be by your side? Those are two different things, and my guess is, the latter of the two, you would have a hard time being alone in.

Yes I believe I will and it isn't a bad thing. I think it is for the best. After the way Jimmy spoiled me there isn't another guy that could come close. I don't think its possible to forget the way he treated me.

Sometimes. I dont see it as a negative or a positive, just the way life works out sometimes :)

No, I know I won't be alone. I have a large, closely knit family, children, and someone who loves me dearly. I won't be alone. And it's a very positive thing.

Yes, and I am married to a wonderful man. But he works 24/7 and yes I think I will be alone forever. Thank God for AB readers, they help me get through the nights.

Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope implies a certain amount of perseverance i.e. believing that a positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary. A person who dreads of 'what tomorrow may bring' looses the zeal of life itself. He can not live in the present even for one day. I do not agree that 'any person can fight the battles of just one day'. There are many in the world who fight their battles life long, and still live with some hope. It is nice to live for today and complete what is to be done today. But humans are distinguished from the rest of the living beings by hope. For other living beings, there may not be tomorrow. But hope is life for humans. Tomorrow may not come for a few. But the others are sure that there will be a day after present one. And it is hoped by many to be a little better than today. What is not realized today may be within our reach tomorrow. It is hope that makes people to live through all torments of life. The moment a person loses hope, the very liveliness in life is lost. Living in the past is dreaming. Living in the present is intuition connected basic instincts. Living in hope-of is humanistic - it speaks of man's quest for mental eternity. Hope - Pandora brought the jar with the evils and opened it. It was the gods` gift to man, on the outside a beautiful, enticing gift, called the "lucky jar." Then all the evils, those lively, winged beings, flew out of it. Since that time, they roam around and do harm to men by day and night. One single evil had not yet slipped out of the jar. As Zeus had wished, Pandora slammed the top down and it remained inside. So now man has the lucky jar in his house forever and thinks the world of the treasure. It is at his service; he reaches for it when he fancies it. For he does not know that the jar which Pandora brought was the jar of evils, and he takes the remaining evil for the greatest worldly good - it is hope! For Zeus did not want man to throw his life away, no matter how much the other evils might torment him, but rather to go on letting himself be tormented anew. To that end, he gives man hope. "Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for." - Joseph Addison Hope! Hope! Hope! Delicious Hope! when naught to man it left - - Of fortune destitute, of friends bereft; When even his dog deserts him, and his goat With tranquil disaffection chews his coat While yet it hangs upon his back; then thou, The star far-flaming on thine angel brow, Descendest, radiant, from the skies to hint The promise of a clerkship in the Mint. People sow seeds with hope And hope is the seed of life People through ages hoped for eternity Because hope is as great as eternity Never give-up hope, never ever Hope is your best mate, all the time Even if all desert you unexpectedly Hope will be with you, if you wish...

Everyone goes through a dry spell now and then, this can be a positive thing as you shall see

Yes. I don't really see it as positive or negative, it just... Is. After all, how do you even define "Positive" or "Negative" when no one's even aware of it? Solitude works for me, and whether I try to live my life alone or with someone else by my side, I'm bound to have some good times and some miserable times, that's just the way the world is. I might not be quite as happy as I would be if I weren't alone, but it's not as if having company would make much of a difference in that. In the end, we're all independant beings and will probably go through the vast majority of life alone, and at some point I guess everyone just has to learn to deal with that.

I honestly see it as a terrible thing. Its horrible and things like valentines day just do a heart worse to see people showing affection for eachother in public, its very unfair! I never chose to be alone, its not something I look forward to each day everyday I wake up and go "god dammit I'm awake" I look at my bed and see no one else there every morning, the cofee maker is always made to make just one cup of cofee ( that's a weird thing to say but I'm just saying it) I would like to know how it feels to hold a women in my arms and think she's mine then kiss her, but I guess lonely has been predetermined for me and it is more then horrible. I have gone to restruants about 3 times, does anyone know the weird looks you get eating at a table alone? Almost like its my fualt I'm alone like there blaming me, like I was born then smashed my face in with a hammer, I just want to enjoy some food since I have no clue how to cook any food so I have to eat fast food or microwave dinners. So I go out to get some restruant cuisine and I get stared at and dirty looks, becuase I have no one with me. It truley is absolutely horrible, and if there is a god I must be his cruel joke he gets to laugh at and have a nice chuckle haha
