Loneliness
Dear Metal Gods,
I’m so lonely and I have no friends, but I’m a cool person, what do I do? I’m so sad.
Please help me!
Loneliness
Dear Loneliness,
It pangs the Metal Gods’ hearts to hear of your mental misery. The Metal Gods have been told that loneliness is a truly dark place. Of course we Metal Gods have never experienced loneliness. Why would we? Between having you humans constantly worshipping us and the endless wine-soaked orgies, where would we find the time to get lonley? Nevertheless the Metal Gods will help you. Mere human, answer the Metal Gods this: Are all humans not alone inside their own heads?…. oh they are! Were you not born alone?… oh you were!… Will you not die alone?… oh you will! So what makes you so special that you think that you’re the one human that doesn’t deserve to be alone between birth and death?
You see my “cool” friend, no one “owes” you happiness, no one “owes” you companionship, and no one “owes” you friendship. Mortal life doesn’t work that way. These are all conditions that you must create for yourself. You want friends? Go make some friends by being the friend you would want to have. You want happiness? Go do things that make you happy with or without anyone else. You want to stop being lonley? Stop moping around your basement obsessing about how lonely you are.
We leave you with a Zen Question to ponder from the Metal Gods White Lion from their song “Don’t give up”:
“Are you fed up with your boring life?”
