But Box and Royalshyness seem to be your alter ego twins.

All these double accounts. It must be a mania. Reminds me of




Maybe I'll try and do the same, see if it's any fun.

But then again, I'll have to write double the nonsense

hi Cj

maybe if u concerned yourself LESS with what and who other people are you'd have even more fun?

it seems like you're looking for something, like you need facts and evidence or proof of things in order to believe in them.

think of Love. it cant be 'bottled', it cant be 'seen', it just is, and people know when they feel it even though they cant locate it or point to it or confine it to a name or place or person or face...it just is..and its in u too, so if u just melt back into it u might find urself less concerned with the qwirkiness of things, its just love calling you.

and btw. i only have one account. never in the history of purple online shenanigans have i ever changed my username voluntarily.

sometimes. shine a flawless mirror onto something and suddenly all the stains show up.

in my opinion, we have a heart for feeling with, and a Mind's Eye for seeing with.

my Mind protects and guides my Heart.

Prince doesn't hate his fans but he certainly isn't able to relate to his fans.
Things are different in Prince World as we all should know by now.
I think Prince is mostly preoccupied with himself and how he sees the world.
He just needs his fans to stroke his ego from time to time. Hate is such a strong word and I don't think Prince wastes his time hating anyone.
Sometimes however I wonder if he ever truly loved somebody.
I don't care what anybody says, I think Prince is a very lonely man who seems to have problems bonding with people for whatever reasons.
As a fan I still have love for him, even if he doesn't love me back!

lol thats sweet. its funny how the mind of a fan thinks. thats true love right there lol

Well damn.

GiGi319

fair and reasonable wonderings.

the only person he's ever loved more than any1 else, is himself.

and yes he is a very lonely man looking for bonds in all the wrong faces.

no offence to your open display of love

but a fan of an artist loves the illusion they create

and thats not true love.

true love destroys illusions.

but thats just my foggy askew view talking

non stop 24 7.

"the only person he's ever loved more than any1 else, is himself."

Isn't that true for all/most of us?
Plus, loving oneself sounds quite a good/healthy thing to me...
Does that bother you? [I mean to love yourself more than other people/someone else?]


"but a fan of an artist loves the illusion they create"

Isn't that true for all/most of us? - aren't we all having illusions/false perceptions/expectations of other people [not just of artists/celebrities]?


I don't doubt the sincerity of Prince' and other people's feelings of loneliness when they say they have them. God knows if I have them myself. But I just think that perhaps we should stop demonizing loneliness. I just feel that in today's [at least Western] societies, being alone and feeling lonely are being regarded as if they were some kind of disease, that should be treated, got rid of at all costs, failing which we are being threatened by psychologists/psychiatrists, counsellors, lifestyle gurus and a whole body of scientific/academic writings that we are unsociable, ill-fitted for a fulfilling life, doomed to a life of unhapiness, somehow unhealthy and in need of 'fixing'. God forbid you like spending your leisure time on your own or is single for a long time. There must be something wrong with you, you just have to feel unhappy. "Man is a sociable being" we read in a book a while ago, period, end of story.

What is clear to me is that this state of supposedly 'wrong' feelings of loneliness is very profitable to some people [see above said psychologists, etc.]

I don't have a magic recipe to alleviate loneliness. But I do believe two things:

1] Packs of friends, acquaintances, admirers, people close and not so close, including lovers, partners and spouses do not necessarily alleviate loneliness, especially the deep, inner kind.

2] Most if not all the big, really important things in life, we have to do them on our own - birth, death, declaring our love to someone, that job interview, and performing in front of one's audience: we are essentially alone to do all these things, nobody can do them in our place.

Maybe it's a slightly negative/pessimistic take on life. I don't mean to say we shouldn't look to others for love, comfort or pure fun. But I think we tend to put way too many expectations on others to fill up that empty space we all have inside, that we were all born with, and that we have been brainwashed into seeing as unhealthy. From there springs the constant frustration I think.

When people say they are lonely, I don't know what they expected: to come to this world [during birth] with a good friend on each arm, then be surrounded by- and accompanied through life by a whole team of loving, trusting and faithful friends and supporters 24/7 365 days a year until their dying day?
I don't think that's the way it's supposed to work. I think we are born essentially alone. Even our parents, they can't learn things for us as we grow up. We are all likely to experience the companionship I mentioned here throughout our life, but intermittently is the more likely, the more natural scenario I think. And obviously, these little islands of happy convergence with others will come from our own efforts and acts of giving. They shouldn't be taken for granted and expected on a constant basis.

Like I said, I don't doubt the genuineness of these feelings of loneliness, especially the internal ones - feelings of 'a void' inside. But perhaps these would be much more manageable if we embraced them, saw them as part of ourselves, of who we are as human beings, of what makes us human/humane, rather than dislike them and try to chase them away by any means.
In short I think those feelings would be far less depressing/destructive if we saw them as normal, natural.

And in the end, no matter how scary a life, especially our later years may look if spent alone, I think that, regardless of creed, we are all going to be fine, even on our own. No psychological/emotional 'distaster' is going to happen, as many would have us believe. We just have to trust it.
In short, love your void, love your solo self, ain't nothing wrong with it!

I'll stop here before I put you royalshyness and everyone to sleep [if that's not done yet:) And I hope I didn't sound patronizing, cause that's wasn't my purpose.
