Aloneness: THE Positive loneliness

WE ALL find ourselves alone in the world at some point of time and believe that we are so. We all have felt terribly lonely, at some point, in our lives when, amidst a room full of people, we felt as if we were total strangers. We had no one with whom we could share our thoughts or express our feelings. I think it happens to everybody, even those with a busy social life and a lot of friends. We feel lonely within and, at the same time, we are socially related and surrounded by others, whether we like it or not.

There are times when we isolate ourselves from the crowd to experience a sense of separation from others and this sense of being separated shapes and enhances our personality and our identity. At that moment, you try to think about yourself. You talk to divinity within you (your conscience) which helps you to rediscover yourself. Moreover, at that time you recall all the positive things that had occurred to you, you encourage yourself by all means you have known. In this way it can help develop a multitude of talents. The only thing required is the space and time to develop them. A lot of good paintings, writing, art, and poetry were born out of this positive loneliness called solitude.

"Loneliness is when you think of others, miss them; it is a negative state. Aloneness is the presence of oneself, it is very positive, you can fill the universe with your presence and there is no need for anybody”

One shouldn't try to push darkness out of a dark room so as to bring in light. That is impossible because darkness doesn't really exist. Rather, it's simply the absence of light. So, turn on the light in that room to make darkness disappear.Loneliness is simply darkness that has enveloped us and this can't be dealt with directly because it doesn't really exist; it's simply the absence of light at that time in our life.
