There are more than 6.7 billion people living on this planet right now.
The planet has never been this populated. Yet in this world we have never
experienced so much loneliness like we do today.
The more the people there are the less we are supposed to be alone. But many of us are alone. And worse is many of us are lonely.
So what happened with the saying “The more the merrier?”
I believe that the cause of this plague of loneliness is our very own selfishness. We have solely focused everything towards ourselves and forgotten others.
We have chosen to disconnect ourselves to the rest of humanity when we place ourselves in the center of the universe.
Each one of us was made for love. We long to love and be loved. To be denied of love, is to be denied of one of our most basic need. The state or feeling of being unloved is what we often call loneliness. Loneliness is one of the worst poverty one can experience.
Because of our selfishness we have forgotten what real love is.
We have focused our actions on taking than on sharing. We have a world full of Go-Getters and hoarders. Because of our mentality of getting we forgot to give. Now everyone feels deprived and empty because no one is giving.
Unconditional love is scarce these days.
It is funny because our own greed has made us poor. We fill ourselves with worldly stuffs but feel empty in the inside. We jump from one party to the next only to go home feeling so more lonely the before. We pursued to get everything we want, only to realize that it does not cure our emptiness.
I believe the solution to loneliness is love. We must learn give ourselves to be filled. It is in giving that we receive.
The world needs the Go-Givers to make this lonely planet less lonely.
“Where there is no love, put love and you will draw out love.”

“Where there is no love, put love and you will draw out love.”
do agree with u pritish...put love n withdraw it... the other thing which i feel is missing is gratitude. feeling of gratitude is i believe the core basic. when u feel feel it for somebody u automatically move towards humbleness, love, affection...and yes then of course there is equal n opposite reaction....
ReplyDeleteyeah Garima.. you are equally right. Feelings are only ingredients in this immortal body which differ us from all other species and give us an upper hand on them... nd love gratitude affection and few others being ultimate of all. & what i feel the more we put in "these feelings" for our possessions, the more we will be getting in return.. :)
ReplyDeleteThey say charity begins at home. love yourself and love will arrive at your doorstep. No doubt self comes first. Getting yourself ruined for love is a concept that no longer prevails or seems illogical. But if you open your heart to accept the love around you, you will see there was so much love hidden, invisible to your eyes earlier.. a mother's love, a father's care, a brother or sister's love, even little moments of joy spent with friends (true or fake) contains some amount of love.. embrace the little you get, they will accumulate to grow larger.. :-)
