LONELINETS - The Loneliness of the Nets | Did you ever hear the sound of the nets? No possible, its only perceivable when the nets are alone.

Loneliness understood as a consideration for the inability to love and offer solidarity, accompanies man throughout his life. We do not free ourselves from loneliness, and it is therefore a good thing to make an honest agreement with it. Exactly as happens to the Nets, which are able to make us embrace happy when they get excited, or to make us feel so alone when abandoned they cannot give us emotions; however, they remain the symbol of play, of distraction beyond time and consciousness.


Loneliness shows to the human being all the misery of his life, and leads him hopelessly to account for himself, to confront himself with a reality of which he feels confusion and absurdity. It is precisely for this reason the need to be strong to love it, to bear its weight throughout the days of life. Its only wealth, is what it does not have; that space of nothing that surrounds it.

No comfort is possible, except perhaps a tremendous, too desolate freedom in which to get lost in a limitless desert. A turn to disappear, to escape from life.

... in the most terrible hour, that of the evening, when the weight of the day just passed still weighs, a scream, a cry, is heard breaking from the throat. But we must resist, we must struggle with this weakness, if we abandon ourselves to tiredness, then we could no longer satisfy that desire for detachment, for silence, for solitude. So solitude is yes, a tremendous weight, but it is also a love: a love for freedom, for truth, for the poor roads and fields of the world. www.stefanofristachi.com
