I was recently talking with a friend in a rather emotional way, about the nature of memories and regrets.
Hey, don't get me wrong, this isn't an angsty thread. Quit hovering over the Backspace key.
In any case, we were talking, and discussed that people who have been through shit invariably end up tougher than they were before, and more capable of handling rougher shit. Some of those people go on to suffer further shit, and end up very secure and capable as a result, after the process of healing.
A question that we came to was that these people, if they have mindset to do so, can be invaluable sources of support for their friends, because of their capacity to be 'a rock'. However, who do these people seek support from; 'quis custodiet ipsos custodes'?
So we came to discuss a 'selfish' question -- the people who have many friends, and are capable of taking on those friend's burdens with ease because of their thicker skins; if they cannot find the ability to seek support for their own issues, is that "loneliness"?
