Posted April 9th, 2015 by Anneke

Dear Gloria,

Could it be that lonely in the second par. below has to be longing?

I can't translate this in Dutch, longing would make more sense to me...

Thanks a lot,

love,

You may think that no one knows you, and no one cares, and so you feel immersed in loneliness.

Do you know what you are really lonely for? You are lonely to know your Self. Of course, you are lost without awareness of your Self. You haven’t yet come to know your Self. You are lonely for your Self, and you feel hapless on a little raft in the middle of an ocean. Or you are at the top of a tree from which you don’t know how to get down.

Hi, Anneke. The meaning of lonely and longing are very close.

I do believe the word given was lonely. Is it a grammar thing in Dutch, dear one?

Lonely is an adjective. Longing can be a noun. Long can also be a verb, I believe.

In any case, you are the translator, and you are making it the best Dutch translation you can. I would think that longing would work very well! In English, of course, we'd leave it as it is.

Thanks, Anneke.

Thanks a lot!
