#loneliness
We live in a world full of awful people.
people with no #empathy , full of #hate and anger towards those who haven't done them no wrong.
it gets so lonely when you realize so many people around you are capable and tolerate such inhumanity. some even support it, defending it and even worse promoting it.
#Gaza uncovered how many awful people live among us.

A quotation from Murasaki Shikibu
I have never thought there was much to be said in favour of dragging on long after all one’s friends were dead.
Murasaki Shikibu (c. 973 - c. 1014/1025) Japanese novelist, poet, lady-in-waiting [紫式部]
The Tale of Genji [源氏物語], ch. 29 “The Royal Visit [行幸]” [Princess Omiya] (AD 1001-1015) [tr. Waley (1928)]

We look for loneliness inside our heads when its source lies all around us, in the destruction of collective life, the erosion of communal bonds, the ruin of civil society, the squeezing of public spaces

A new study reveals the link between loneliness, cravings for high-calorie foods, and unhealthy eating behaviours in women, highlighting a significant brain activity pattern associated with social isolation. The research found that women feeling lonely show increased brain activation in areas related to cravings when exposed to images of sugary foods, alongside decreased self-control towards eating.
These findings underscore the complex interplay between loneliness, mental health, and eating habits, suggesting that recognizing and addressing feelings of loneliness could be key to breaking the cycle of poor diet and mental health outcomes. The study emphasizes the need for holistic interventions focusing on social connections and healthier food choices to mitigate the negative impacts of loneliness on well-being.

Just started this…man did it grab me…a couple of reviews below
“This Exquisite Loneliness is a transformative book for understanding this moment of collective isolation. Through his sharp-edged personal reflections, Deming interrogates powerfully and openly his own sense of aloneness as he weaves his discoveries with fellow writers, artists, and thinkers from Walter Benjamin to Zora Neale Hurston….Deming’s brave and searing prose…builds an eloquent case for staying with the discomfort as darkness becomes the passageway toward illumination.”
–Terry Tempest Williams

I don’t know the boy’s circumstances or what was going on in his #life. A #tragedy like that can happen anywhere. Still, I can’t help noticing how many of the stories tonight are about being alone — about not getting laid, not talking to the girl, not having someone there when they take off the headset. Seen through the lens of the metaverse, #America looks so huge and so lonely.

Forugh Farrokhzad
Short film from 1963, by the Iranian poet Forugh Farrokhzad. Her poems was published in a Danish translation and I have read it with much fondness. So this Iranian guy on Hive tells me that she also made a short film about a leper colony in the north of Iran. It is really beautiful - and ugly - as is its theme.
