Feeling Lonely....

How many times have you felt...
There is no one around you when your actually in a crowd??
You don't see a thing in spite of seeing everyone, you listen nothing despite all noises pouring into your ears...

Loneliness....
There may be people who have not had friends, who have not had the privilege to be with family, even those who have never found love... But There is none in this world who has not experienced This feeling...

The Mother who's busy with routine work, waits for her kids to return from school and when they don't talk to her, she feels lonely. A Wife who's been waiting for the husband doesn't get a look from the tired spouse, she feels lonely. A Friend has 100 other friends but when in real trouble, doesn't know whom to trust and share the problem with, he / she feels lonely... All of us know that we need not be physically single to feel lonely but we do not know why we feel so.

More often its just the absence of a source that makes us feel lonely. This source may be one that refreshes us, may be one that entertains us, may be one that relieves us form our troubles or may be simply one that take all the nonsense we have to drain out of ourselves at times. We sometimes need someone to give us input about something and sometimes just need someone to listen...

Not necessary that we get someone to talk to when we feel lonely. The Alternative is to find a Substitute. Listen to lively songs that make you feel better, Write what you feel in a diary, Do what makes you feel good, Go Shopping and get yourself something New and Nice... Solutions are many but the Fact is... All of this doesn't help much.

I feel it is important for us to feel lonely. Sometimes we need it and many times, it brings out the best in us. Einstein was sitting alone when he observed the apple fall from the tree. Buddha and Mahaveera attained Salvation in Solitude. We may find answers to complicated questions in Seclusion. Some of the most Inspiring and Successful Ideas may strike when you are Alone...

We just need to make most out of everything, Even Seclusion. Worry not about why you feel lonely, Think about How you can use this Solitude to Learn, Understand and Grow... With the help of this Loneliness, give a New Beginning, a New Chapter and A Brand New Dimension to Your LIFE....
