Loneliness vs Aloneness or Solitude

Loneliness is a negative state of mind.
Aloneness or solitude is positive. 
In dictionaries, loneliness and aloneness are synonymous. 
However, in life, they are not. 
Loneliness is a state of mind when you are missing the other
Aloneness is the state of mind when you are delighted in yourself.  
Loneliness is miserable - aloneness is blissful. 
Loneliness is always missing something - craving for something - desiring for something or someone. 
Aloneness is a deep fulfillment, not going out, tremendously content, happy, celebrating. 
In loneliness, you are off-center.
In aloneness, you are centered and rooted.
Aloneness is beautiful. It has an elegance around it, a grace, a climate of tremendous satisfaction.
Loneliness is beggarly. 
All around it, there is begging and nothing else - it has no grace around it.
Loneliness is a dependence.
Aloneness is sheer independence - One feels as if he is the whole world, whole existence.
