I read a post about being alone in the world and how it would be our way of acting. I really felt a sense of hopelessness knowing that I could be alone in the world.

The truth is that I can never imagine being alone in the world. Trying to think about that without living it is very difficult. We never know how we will react to a situation without living it. We can imagine many things but when we are facing the situation itself, that is another level.

I say this because in my life I always thought about doing one thing or another in a given situation but when the time came I never thought I would react the way I did.

I once experienced a robbery. A robber came and showed me a gun and asked me to hand over my phone and my valuables. I was sitting and waiting for my car to be washed. When I raised my head I could see the gun in front of me and I handed him my belongings along with my car keys. He gave me back the car keys and I gave them back to him. I don't know what happened to me but I didn't think about anything but just giving him everything and having him take that gun away from in front of my face.

I had always thought about giving up my belongings in the face of a robbery but I never thought about giving my car away so freely and so fast, just because I saw that gun so close to me.

And so in my life, I have thought about how to react to a casual event, and then when I have it in front of me it has not been my thought-out reaction but a quick reaction without logic.

So I can say that I don't know how I might react if I am alone one day when I wake up and see that I have no one else by my side.

I think my sense of survival would be activated immediately and I would try to find ways to protect myself right away. I don't know what else I would do, it depends on what's in front of me. I think it all depends on what comes my way. If I have water, food, and shelter. What comes up next to me and how I would react would depend on what I have at my fingertips.

Watching so many movies about being alone in the world gives me a feeling of sadness. Having nothing and no one in front of me. I could converse with plants, with a dog or cat, or even with a material object as the case may be. Not receiving answers is the problem. Somehow I would feel so bad if I didn't get answers from something other than a living being.

Even in the worst of times human beings are prepared to be resilient. We are mentally prepared to get out of precarious situations because we have a sense of survival that is innate. Each individual is an independent way of being or acting.

Thinking back to the Tom Hans movie when he experienced the trauma of being alone on the island with a soccer ball. Trying to escape from a lonely island. I think that I would not be able to jump into the water with a raft and with so much water ahead of me. I'm afraid of storms, sharks and so many things that I think I would stay on the island as lonely as he was.

Yeah, I don't know, I don't know what would trigger my unconscious way of acting but thinking about it cold, just as I am at home today, I think I would be the most cowardly person in the world when I found myself alone facing the world.

This is what I felt when I read the article of this friend @sage01, please read it.
