Loneliness

A friend of mine said this “We are all lonely people, just different types of loneliness”. I don’t know if this statement is indeed true universally, but I do feel it sometimes. Even as a believer. How does one reconcile the presence of God with the loneliness that some of us often feel? Well, one doesn’t. Despite our continual acknowledgement of God on a daily basis, we can’t deny the absence of God, or rather the “perceived” distance of God. Needless to talk about the world. Even our best of friends can fail to be there for us in one way or another. For me, there are only two people on this earth that I can tell and probably will tell everything to; they are God and Moo. But I have learnt over the months to refrain from telling Moo certain burning issues in my heart for he is too easily impressed and hardly forgives.
