“Being alone” is perhaps a great misnomer! It is a big illusion. Nobody on this earth can ever remain alone which is inhabited by millions of living beings. This vast ecosystem consists of flora, fauna, small insects, pests, oceanic ecosystem, and human beings. Every moment man is surrounded by more than one of these species. Moreover, man is a social animal. He prefers to live in a societal structure surrounded by fellow human beings. It is suggested by the sociologists that a human being cannot live alone.
Lastly, man is a thinking living being. He is gifted with a brain. He is always engrossed with some thought process, either serious or superficial. His mind is never free of ideas. Hence, no one can assume that he is alone. Solitude is good for mental health. But that is a process of cutting oneself from the onslaught of the multitude! Even in this stage also man is not alone. In fact, he is involved in the process of meeting with himself or the process of introspection.
Many a time, a person feels lonely and depressed! The easy remedy is to mix with people and share their joys and sorrows. You will never be alone. Assimilate yourself with forces of nature, be it floral, animal or men’s world. You will feel part of this great ecosystem which is an invaluable gift of God. You are not alone, and you will never be! Being alone is simply a state of mind. You can always change your mindset.
