Being Alone, or Being Lonely?

"Loneliness is something which we feel,
it may be worse as it may kill."

People are happy, people are sad. People may act, people may remain silent. We do something which is not expected, we do not do something which is expected. Some of us feel happy when others cry, some just start crying when others cry. This is what we are, and that is what makes us COMPLEX human beings.

According to many Psychologists, we are more disturbed by the word "LONELINESS" than "rape", "kill", "death", or "murder". Most of you might be thinking that you are lonely. The greatest confusion comes between the words - "Lonely" and "Alone". These are completely different feelings, and they often confuse us. Let me try to make them more clear.

Let me tell you about the word "Alone" first. It means you are physically near to no one. It is often considered positive for us as it may refresh our mind, generate confidence, help in effective thinking process, or can help solve critical problems. For example, you are a writer and if you are alone, then it will help you think in better way and will bring better results. You may be alone by your choice, or because of circumstances.

Now lets talk about "Lonely". In general, the word "Lonely" is considered as a situation where the person suffers mentally and face negative consequences. The person here feels as if he has lost his identification, his worth, or his understanding. A person can be lonely even when he is in between a huge crowd, or even if he is with someone who care for him a lot. Loneliness is something which kills bit by bit, and there comes the time when serious consequences are faced by the lonely person.

Loneliness is the biggest enemy of the human society, and those who are lonely can understand - why it is. A person can be both alone and lonely too. We all may have touched someone who is really lonely, and is really not in a state to help himself. Help that person, or else he may have silent death.

Is this Competition?

Long ago, we successfully crossed the "Survival of the fittest" challenge. It is just because of that we are here today. That time, there was no word called "FAIR", no word called "UNFAIR"; our ancestors just did it as they had no other options.

Here we are, having competition in our blood. Always ready to win over others. We have crossed all limits of being unfair. When my brother is progressing, I will push him down and will start my journey on his foot steps. When the best colleague in my organization is doing good, I will be the one who will be a backstabber. When my best friend in my school is getting highest marks, I will make plans to get him into the allegations of malpractice.

This is what we have become. When we win, we expect others to take it sportively; and when others win, let the word "sportive" go to hell.

Are we really made for this?

LAND 2 PEOPLE

What are you specialized in? Economics, Marketing, Finance, HR, Astrology, or others? No matter what you are doing, but one thing which will always be helping you is other humans. How? There is not even a single work which cannot be done by human.

Well, I know very well that you all know the importance of human very well, and believe me I have nothing new to add to that. But there was a time when people didn’t know about the real importance of human and the work he is capable of doing. The Babylonian dynasty, the Qin dynasty, and the Ottoman dynasty were having a very clear thing in their mind i.e., to acquire as much land as they can by defeating the opposition. There was nothing bad in that. They really wanted to increase the acquired land so as to increase their power by killing all the residents of that new land.

We also had some dynasties like the Rothschild dynasty, the China Xia dynasty, and the Slave dynasty of India who really transformed the whole picture. I really agree that these people had also killed a lot of people along with acquiring the land. Nothing new in that, but they realized the importance of humans, and it was only because of this reason that they started the Slavery system, which was mainly for getting their works done. This saved their people to do the work, and at the same time work with no cost.

There was a shift from land to people. Everything lies within humans, not in the outside things. It all depends on how you get it done. Now, people are your power, not the other assets. Understand the importance of a human, and see the magic.
