Who of us was prepared for being a loser? Or for feeling like one. Or for life filled up with defeats. In my humble opinion it is a supreme ability: coping as a living failure, because our flaws, wounds, weaknesses, disabilities are the factors that make us. We are not flat as a painting on the canvas but we have many shapes, irregular lines, diagonal surfaces... rather as a sculptures. And, as I said, we are not invincible.
We have, of course, natural capability of looking for help in our misery. And, usually, we can find it, if there is at least a shade of good will in us. We search for answers and wisdom in other people, but no one prepared us for situation in which we simply cannot find a man. And, believe me, there are cases when nobody understands what is going on. There are people whose suffering shove them out of the any social circles. They have too many "dark places" in their souls. I discovered that looking for understanding is complete waste of time.
It's like with the disabled guy from the Gospel who stuck near Bethesda miraculous pond for thirty eight years, who was waiting till someone help him get into the water. There was no point in waiting - he was alone among many people, but he didn't notice that his problems are beyond people's understanding. Those years were lost. His "sin" was being deluded by himself. He wasn't prepared for being a loser, a lonely loser in others' eyes.
Yes, we are not prepared for being alone. We're losing years and decades in pursuits of "true love", acceptance, understanding, companionship instead of chasing for something that is doable, under hand, in us...
