A lot of the time we come to find ourselves lonely. Or as if there is something drastically missing in us. And we believe that being around others will help combat it, only to arrive back at our homes by ourselves where there is no one. Ironically many feel more lonely around others, where the conversation is non existent to the depth you require. Even after a day conforming to social pressures we feel quite overwhelmed with sadness and grief. It's like a wave comes over us. Why not embrace those waves of anxiety and self disgust ? We never truly find out who we are, and if you could just sit still and forget about the mobile phone and the dishes for a while, you'd be on your way. But by being on your own you've been programmed to believe you are lonely. There's a saying that stands out, it goes like this......
"It is beautiful to be alone. To be alone is not to be lonely. It means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society" - Jiddu Krishnamurti
In knowing the above words, can we now realize that being on your own is only considered bad by those in society that want you to be like them. What I mean is, they are running to all parts of the world to avoid the so called loneliness. If you go and spend time "on your own" and truly listen to yourself, you will realize that you are worthy, you are special, and you are never alone. The only reason you think you are alone when you are by yourself, is because you are afraid that in experiencing it, you will be lonely........ Loneliness, is a made up word. All it means is, that you need more of that quiet time with yourself......."desperately". There is no such thing as loneliness. Once you truly hear what you have to say to yourself, you can never be lonely. Do you know what happens when you listen to your quiet self ? There is YOU and YOU in the room. Which means your soul has come for a chat. And I like chatting with my soul..........
