What is loneliness?
Jun. 8th, 2010 11:48 pmThinking about it, I don't think I've ever felt a calling to any profession. My current predicament is no different. I want to say that I feel a calling to academia but it could just as likely be just another phase in passing.
Yet here I watch my friends graduate, happy with what they have learned and what they now set out to do. And I wander without a direction, my only gravity toward a place and not a role, but compelled to choose a role or have one chosen for me.
Is this what all lonely academics feel?
Is this the existential question of purpose?
