I saw this on Facebook today. It is so profound!!! It is from an episode of Mork and Mindy.
"Mork & Mindy: In Mork We Trust (#1.21)" (1979)
Orson: The report, Mork.
Mork: This week I discovered a terrible disease called loneliness.
Orson: Do many people on Earth suffer from this disease?
Mork: Oh yes sir, and how they suffer. One man I know suffers so much
he has to take a medication called bourbon, even that doesn't help very
much because then he can hear paint dry.
Orson: Does bed rest help?
Mork: No because I've heard that sleeping alone is part of the problem.
You see, Orson, loneliness is a disease of the spirit. People who have
it think that no one cares about them.
Orson: Do you have any idea why?
Mork: Yes sir you can count on me. You see, when children are young,
they're told not to talk to strangers. When they go to school, they're
told not to talk to the person next to them. Finally when they're very
old, they're told not to talk to themselves, who's left?
Orson: Are you saying Earthlings make each other lonely?
Mork: No sir I'm saying just the opposite. They make themselves lonely,
they're so busy looking out for number one that there's not enough room
for two.
Orson: It's too bad everybody down there can't get together and find a cure.
Mork: Here's the paradox sir because if they did get together, they wouldn't need one.
After I read this, I thought Wow!!! Loneliness is a very sad place to be. I can't believe how hurtful some people are in this world. They make up lies and others believe them. It deeply hurts when someone who I thought was my friend says things that hurt. We are supposed to have fun and LOVE one another NOT hurt each other!!!
I read today that Robin Williams was suffering from the early stages of Parkinson's Disease. Maybe he didn't want his family to see him suffer from such a dreaded disease.
Have a very blessed day everyone!!! Sunday is almost here!!!
Laugh And Smile Often, Love ALWAYS!!!
