"Cool loneliness allows us to look honestly

and without aggression, at our own minds.

We can gradually drop our ideals of who 

we think we ought to be, 

or who we think we want to be, 

or 

who we think other people think we want to be or ought to be.

We give it up and just look directly 

with compassion and humor at who we are.

Then loneliness is no threat 

and heartache, no punishment."

-- Pema Chodron
