Life and Lonliness

Loneliness is a small word with a huge meaning. Meaning is such that it changes with time and person to person. When a kid is asked the meaning of loneliness, he/she may say it means ‘to be alone, without parents’. When a school going child is asked he/she may say ‘loneliness is something when you are alone and miss your friend’. When a young person is asked the definition of loneliness he/she may say ‘it is something you feel when your loved one leaves you and you are left alone fighting with pain and sorrow’. When same thing is asked to an old person he/she may say ‘it is a part of life, your soul mate/spouse left you and you are alone with no one to share things with’.

Loneliness is a feeling which hurts every person from a kid to an old. We sometimes even hear people saying that they enjoy loneliness. What does that mean? If people enjoy loneliness, why does loneliness hurt some people? Seems confusing and strange.

At this point of time I life, I actually realized what loneliness is and how it is felt. Loneliness hurts when you feel you are left alone in life, when you miss someone very near and dear. For example when a person loses his/her parent, he actually undergoes loneliness. Or when a person loses his/her most loved one, without whom his/her day never begun or ended, such person is in loneliness.

How does a person enjoy loneliness? Very few people can do that. And people like me hardly cherish loneliness. When we get too much dependent on someone, we can never enjoy loneliness. We sometimes in life get addicted of some people and when those people are not in life we hate loneliness. During such situations positive attitude and constructive work can help. Meeting new people is always a solution to such issues of life. Getting involved in the activities we love to do also helps. But is it so easy? It isn’t. But ‘HOPE’ is always a part of life. And that ‘super natural element’ always helps us directly or indirectly. Our life is not only ours but many people are affected by it. We live not only for ourselves but also for others, the ones who are with us or who left us. The ones who left us are also affected in some way even though they may or may not express it. My thoughts are very similar to any common man and may help someone or give new hopes in life.
