"Your aloneness is your essential being" -Osho
But I am not essentially alone. In my being I contain pieces, voices, of others. I hear my father's voice sometimes, telling me what to do. There's a song in my head that I can't get out that someone wrote, recorded and produced. The lives of others, whether real or imagined, whether seen or read about, influence how I live and the decisions I make.
As Cloud Cult says, "There's a room full of people in your head." Even if I want to be alone, I'm not. I don't even know what "aloneness" feels like or who I would be if every person who ever influenced me just disappeared. I don't know if I would be anyone, frankly.
