| ALONE ! |
Each
person in this world is an island by himself. We all live alone, all
by ourselves. Throughout life we keep building up
relationships. Parents, siblings, spouse, children...everyone relates
to the other and lives within these boundaries.
In
spite of this we are all alone. Our thoughts, desires, hopes,
aspirations, are totally individualistic. What hurts us, what makes
us feel humiliated is also different One mans meat is another man's
poison.
What
we like to eat, how we like to sleep, how we want to spend our free
time is all our own. We are all lonely people who try to maintain peace and harmony at home so that we can combat our loneliness. We therefore give in to anothers demands, advice and solicitations.

We
simply go on accommodating every one else. Trying to keep up with the
Joneses, trying one up man ship Trying and simply trying some more.
Ultimately
do we really get any peace and happiness? None of us can live devoid
of company, yet even surrounded by everyone else too, often life is
lived in solitude. It is quite a lonely existence. A child waiting
for endless domestic quarrels to end, a wife waiting for her
tormentor of a husband to leave her in peace, an old mother waiting
for a word with her son, a distraught husband trying very hard to
keep peace with his acid tongued wife. Loneliness, engulfs everyone.
Each one is fighting a battle every day.
Why
is there so much strife, discontent,ego? Why is there the endless
effort to blame someone else for all your mistakes?
We
take life so much for granted, we take our beloved people so much for
granted, that it is only when some disaster strikes that we realize
that there are many more dangers lurking in our life. There are many
more problems that can make our world go topsy turvy. We fight over
senseless things like a car honking behind us, at the fellow who
pushes us out of the queue, at the maid servant who was absent
without notice. We fret, fume and spill venom through our tongue. I
wonder if that takes us anywhere. We only spoil our own day further.
We build up our anxiety level, build up our blood pressure and spoil
our health. Can we not live in peace? Accept that each one of us is
different. Each has their own likes and dislikes, each one has their
own space, which must not be violated.

Let
us live in harmony. Loneliness exists even in a relationship. Therefore keeping up the dialogue, but also allowing our
own family members the freedom to choose what they want is important. To live
life as they want, live harmoniously with some give and take, respect
and consideration for the others. A kind thought and sensitivity to
the emotional needs of the others.
Tolerance,
acceptance, adjustments are not mere words. They are very important
actions that need to be made a practice in our life.
