Loneliness



As human beings all of us experience some kind of loneliness at some point in time. It is not just what you feel when you are alone, Loneliness is a feeling where you experience a powerful surge of emptiness and solitude. You might experience loneliness even when you are in a group.

On the other hand Solitude is different, it is the state of being alone and secluded from other people, and often implies having made a conscious choice to be alone.

In my opinion the key thing is, knowing that are experiencing loneliness. Then next step is being in communication with another person about your loneliness.

Since it is natural to feel loneliness once in a while don't resist it. Also be aware that you are not the only one who feeling loneliness.

As Mexican poet and writer says "Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone." , Only we can know that we are alone!

Famous writer Gulzar has captured the mood of a loner in this beautiful song - Ek Akela is shaher mein … (A loner in this town ..) , from the movie Gharonda.
