Oh no !

Does being in front of the computer count as being alone ?

I worry about this because I drink loads of wine in front of the computer and I was brought up to believe that drinking alone is REALLY BAD .

No, you are not alone.

If you enjoy drinking why is it necessary to drink with others?

Indeed . A disappointing Chateau d'Yquem does tend to put one in a bad mood .
Do forgive me .

I would love to be disappointed by a Ch d'Yquem. I've not had even a bad one yet. I've had other Sauternes.

Um, I guess this wine is an aquired taste

I find that when I'm feeling lonely it's usually because I'm not happy with who/what/where I am. Now that, is kinda sad and pathetic, harsh but true. But being 'alone', THAT is liberating. Be in the crowd but not of it, otherwise you'll always be a victim of your own illusions or the crowds.

BTW Ibram, you didn't come across as bitter, just arrogant and pompous. You need to develop your wordcraft so people can perceive the humour you implied was there.

In solitude, there are good things to do

(besides enjoying the postmasturbatory glow)

If I haven't walked up to somewhere high,
Filling not only my eyes but my lungs and breath too
With the view from up there,
There is always meditation,
And you don't have to be up there for it:

A pond
In the middle of a forest
With no ripples

I thought most Hiakus went 5/7/5?

alone is what you make of it.

That was Lowku.

I'm alone today because I have this cold that I don't want to spread. I like sharing with other people, but not this Dreaded Lurgy.

Thank goodness this cough medicine is working, my cough was sounding too much like a seal and it hurt too much.

Yay for chicken soup and orange juice.
