Loneliness – The destination if you miss love

We're all lonely for something we don't know we're lonely for. Loneliness is not anyhow desirable state. But it is a result of our wish only !!
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

- ‘Backstreet Boys’


Life dies inside a person when there are no others willing to be-friend him. He thus gets filled with emptiness and a non-existent sense of self-worth. - Mark R. J. Lavoie

Is there anyone who has never been alone?

Whether we like or dislike but we find it somewhere. For every failure either we have hope or loneliness.

Although my understanding is yet narrow, I mean loneliness as:

Loudest noise of your heart
Orphenhood
Neither heaven nor hell!
Eliminate hope
Loosing everything?
Isolation
No where to go...
Emptiness
Self-attachment!
Solitary

I am afraid whether I defined loneliness right.

Absence of people around you is not loneliness. It is our confusion to understand its meaning. I agree that having friends around myself helps me to wipe out my loneliness. But do we mean a friend?

Everything is being made up today. Friendship is one of those made up deceitful products. To have satisfaction of our physical thrust we make relationship with opposite sex and we termed that hunger as love. Creating wealth making other poor & hungry is called business in this world. Ultimately you get tired & defeated from this world. Loneliness is not the killer but our failure from anything kills us. This is one side of coin.

A son who never helped his father till he had died expects his son to help him. What you seed, you crop. Loneliness is a situation where you met yourself. Because no one is around you, you find it difficult to live. We are the part of nature. If we follow attributes and rules defined by nature, we can survive. Otherwise you either find yourself alone. Loneliness is not always hurtful and harmful. Everything depends on our understanding.

"No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world." - Aristotle

Human is a kind of animal only. I need relations in my life to live it as human being. Relation teaches us the meaning of life’s stages. As a child I received a lot of love from my elders. Child cries when it is born. But once it relates itself as a child of a mother sleeping near by, it stops crying. We receive both love and hatred from all our relations. Love brings us near to the one another and hatred keeps us far. Live positively and ripe all the benefits from true and sacred relationships. Then probably you will hardly find loneliness. Even if you find loneliness when you are in love of someone, it will cause extension of love further. This is another side of loneliness.

Why to be alone?

Loneliness is not anyhow desirable state. But it is a result of our wish only. I don’t like one’s company that’s why I am alone. Here it is my wish. My classmates don’t like me.

If you can behave similar to them, then you might not be alone. Again it is your wish.

Loneliness – a companion

"Oh, sweet sorrow, the time you borrow, will you be here when i wake up tomorrow?" wished Katherine Wolf.

Insecurity causes loneliness. Isolation or separation from any relation is nothing but emptiness of love in our life. In any worst situation we need someone’s shoulder. Love will bring you back into life from any deep separation. Love wipes out insecurity from our daily life. If we don’t have any one to stop our tears only sorrow can feel vacancy of isolation in loneliness.

Satisfaction of light in darkness

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, Only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Our mechanical life has made darkness in our life. We are being so selfish that we even forget to meet ourselves. We eat to live. We earn to eat. But we forget to eat while earning. Whom do we make foolish? Can we find any home where we can go without reasons? Do I need to give reason why shall I love to someone? Is the reason life?

Little happiness or shades of love enlighten darkness of our reasonable life.

Loneliness to hide your self….

Sometimes we run from ourselves. We get tired from the play we daily react. Our thinking process and hidden words of heart stop us to perform undesirable work. Hardly few of us do favored karma. Eric Hoffer criticized the situation saying, "With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves."

Loneliness fills up love.

A couple without any reasons decided to get divorce. Neither of them found cause. They felt emptiness of love. Even after sleeping in the same bad, they were not having good time & experiences to share. Before divorce accidentally they were separated and sent too far. Both of them got enough loneliness to think and talk with inside souls. Separation and isolation worked out importance of one another in their lives.

According to Robert Louis Stevenson "The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us."

We wish someone to love us when we find loneliness. Probably that someone is a person whom we left alone or separated ourselves in between journey of life. Is there anyone in your life whom you left earlier? Do you want to take ‘U’ turn?

It is unexplainable…

We're all lonely for something we don't know we're lonely for. How else to explain the curious feeling that goes around feeling like missing somebody we've never even met? - David Foster Wallace
