When I was sitting in one of the famous tube train, I saw every single soul was busy in their so called smart phones, in their own world, thought flashed in my mind, why are we getting lonelier? is it due to advancement and advent of technology we are becoming less sensitive or our own mobility is on rise, or we are moving away from our mothers, sisters, brothers, cousins, uncle and aunts like our previous generations used to be,
Long distance from our families or extend families and advancement of technology has made us busy within our own world and less sensitive to human around due to the intricate web of non-life things we have surrounded ourselves more and more, and as quote says what we give is what we get, so we give to non-life things and we become more and more non-life and more and more less appreciative,
Human is a social animal and we are born out of love and social interaction, belonging to each other, and if we disconnect ourselves from each other we become and feel lonely, no matter how many riches and security we have, more and more souls I meet and more I find them working as a part of technology moving and acting like a technology without much sense of acknowledgement for each other and oneself,
The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated, we all know how much this is true and how we glow the moment we hear words like ” Thanks,I love you,You are an inspiration,I am grateful,You are a blessing,You are a true friend,You are such an angel”, however when it is our turn to do the same how many of us have actually made sincere efforts to actually go out and reciprocate the same way.
I have come across many people who just won’t appreciate until you’re no longer around,they can’t see what they have; they only see what’s missing,unfortunately that means you won’t be appreciated until your efforts cease to exist, this is not how we should be, we need to show the existence of others when they are there, once we start to recognize and realize each other existence, our loneliness will not be our friend but our friends will be our friends,
So I would like to add this on a very positive note ” Lets be the change we wish to see in others”,while there’s nothing we can do about how others act, we can at least try to set a good example by being the change we want to see.
Certainly where people feel lonely because they are social isolated, ways to reconnect, when found, can be used by the person to reduce their loneliness,but I have seen sometime even friends cannot be of much help to set a person free from loneliness but mostly for some lonely people, reducing social isolation and helping them link up with others reduces loneliness except for those who have been lonely for a number of years will have anxiety about making new friends, they may be distrustful of others and feel low about their own social skills,they need support to change their view of themselves, and how they feel others will react to them, but still love is the essence of life and can do wonders with anyone,
The core is to communicate, interact and let you be smart and not the technology, rely on yourself and not on non-life world, for what you give is what you get, remember you are best creation of God, let us share our love, care and reach out our hand, no harm in smiling and saying Hello, if we come across beautiful souls during morning walk or jog, these are simple and beautiful ways to enlighten the self and give way to smile and comfort, while taking away the world of loneliness, I remember famous lines of one song I heard in India, they goes like this” Everywhere everyplace there are numerous humans, but still they are suffering from their own loneliness inspite of being surrounded by humans”
Just writing about them makes me feel so special and I write with a broad smile on my face,people will never know how much you appreciate them until its too late,let them know how much you love and appreciate them.
