All hail the lonely

He said good morning to the city with his eyes fixed on the road. People banaly babbling all around him. Traffic lights changing, but only when he's approaching them. The tough young kids wolf-whistle at the honeys that sashay past them. Trying to smile at everyone, he gets nothing but an impolite grin. Filled with implosive anger he moves ahead and reacts only to the rhythm flowing out of that headphone of his. He finds friends in old literature and gets stoned on the ink that he absorbs out of his books. He is companionless but does not care.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It gives the stars in the sky an extra twinkle and puts a special burn on sunsets. He is not an alienated crank but a human being with a goal. It's all just a means to an end to attain what he really wants; a revelation. Despite all misfortune he persists in order to achieve a higher meaning. The Turkish always said "forget regret, or life is yours to miss". Whatever be your misfortune or "failure" it's not worth a sorrow.

Regretting, however, is a normal human response. Regretting is a logical step and a banal action in our day-to-day activities. To be quite blunt I'd like to say that I don't really believe in regrets. Regretting is a strong and important factor in Emotional Intelligence, but what's the benefit of feeling sorrow or remorse for a past activity? Why live in retrospect when there's nothing you can change about what happened before?

Wouldn't it just be better to throw all possible form of regret overboard? Do the things that are really important to you, be ambitious, adventurous and try new things, it really doesn't matter how they work out eventually. Every second can change ones life so we shouldn't waste our time on regrets. Moreover, regretting is a sign of uncertainty and weakness. People who have to cope with remorse and sorrow tend to be more fragile and harmful than those neglecting past "failures". We should focus more on our proper goals instead of on those of others. Get inspiration out of literature and look deep into our own core. Don't regret mistakes cause without them you'll get nowhere. Therefore I conclude: "All hail the lonely"
