Loneliness is a state of mind which is pretty painful. I have gone thru it and suffered it. At the time it felt like the worst thing to have happened to me. But it was like the darkest hour before the sunrise. It made me resume my habit of reading books and opened up new vistas of experiences and knowledge. It also opened up the doors of experiencing bliss of being alone!!  

  

We can all transform our loneliness into aloneness. Believe me there is a lot of difference between the two. We are scared of loneliness because we do not like ourselves, we are not in love with ourselves.Why do we not feel lonely when we are with people whom we love or like?Simply becoz we love being in their company. When we are in love with ourselves, loneliness gets transformed into being alone… thats truly a state of meditation and pure bliss…. Try it sometime… you will get to know yourself better!! 

 

 

As I see it, loneliness is basically a state of dejection, self pity and inertia. One can overcome loneliness by doing things which one feels passionate about. Reading books, dancing, painting, photography, cooking …. the list can go on. Passion for any activity or/and compassion for a worthwhile cause always has the potential to rejuvenate us, uplift us from the dungeon of dejection to the mountaintop of enthusiasm and vitality!!
