Sometimes the same mood can take us in two or more directions. Isolation can feel scary yet safe, a jailer yet freeing. Shutting the door on possibilities means two different things in the same moment, a conflict between two wills. Is it fear or courage to be alone? The shame of hiding is very heavy indeed. Yet in another moment solitude can be brave when it serves some important purpose.
What matters is purpose, wherever our mood hovers. Alone in hiding we can still find usefulness. Stillness can be formed into useful time. Our thoughts can take us into healthier states of being.
Defeat is a useless concept. Whatever state we find ourselves, find a way to use it.
