Arbit Philosophical Shite

Don’t leave me alone. I beg the voices in my head. There is no answer. I plead and beg. Yet I can only hear my own voice echoing through the depths of my own mind.
In this loneliness, my voice feels tiny and weak. I turn the volume up on the music to simulate a life all around me. Voices, noise. They produce an effect of existence, however sorry and empty. At moments like these, I feel incredibly alone. I cannot see a soul around. Perhaps there are none left.
No man is an island. Hemingway said that once. I disagree. I am an island.
Our whole lives are spent running away from loneliness. I know because I do that too. Relationships, family, friends, what utility are these words, if not to escape from  the essential loneliness that our existence really is? Why else did Prometheus steal fire fire from the Gods?
To give us mortals hope. To show us, that where there was dark is now light. To reassure us that we are not alone.
I ran the opposite way. Towards the loneliness. Towards the dark. I wanted to hide. To disappear. End result. I am now lost. Now I can look back at these past mistakes of mine and laugh about them. Yet I cannot escape their repercussions. I am now well and truly alone.
Our existences are defined recursively. In that, it cannot be proved by a single man that he exists, unless he can see others like him and ascertain the fact that he exists.
That is probably the reason why God created Adam and Eve together. He didn’t just create Adam or just Eve. But two. Even then, He didn’t create two of Adam or two of Eve. He made them interdependent. Adam or Eve needed each other as much as they needed themselves. Of course one can say that it was just the sex.
But I believe that there is a much deeper reason.
I believe that God, understands loneliness. If Muslim lore is to be believed. Which I do believe to varying extents. God is one. He has always been around and will be around forever. So, He is in fact, alone. In the truest sense of the word. Which raises the important question. Who decided that for God? Or did he decide to be alone all by himself. And also by corollary, can He change that if He so desired? I do not have the answer, but it was an interesting thought nonetheless. It is not dire a question as say asking, can God make a stone so heavy that he can’t lift it himself?
I leave now to ponder these questions. It started as a story and became a lesson in philo. Someday I’ll write the story too.
