Each person believes that their chosen path will bring them ultimate satisfaction. One believes that money will complete them, another believes that education is the key and still others are convinced that relationships are the answer. The specific cure varies,but the common hunger remains.
I took this picture randomly.The sun was bright today and the floor was simple.But on that ordinary ground,two shadows were standing.One was mine.The other was someone walking beside me.Anyways,I felt something weird.The thought crossed my mind that none can make a guess of my caste,background,followers or fame.You can only see a mere shadow.That moment kinda hit me hard.
Most people fear being alone because they have been conditioned since childhood to think that being alone is associated with isolation or rejection. We have been conditioned to think that we need others to feel happy and secure. But this is false. A person who cannot be at peace with their own existence will never find peace in the company of others.
Loneliness does not result from the absence of others, but rather from being separated from oneself. You can be surrounded by friends and family and still feel lonely. Loneliness is not an external problem, but an internal problem. It arises from a mind that has not learned to be comfortable with itself. A person who depends on others for happiness will always be at their mercy. If they leave, their happiness also leaves. But if joy comes from within, no external circumstance can shake it.
When you embrace solitude, you become a great strength. This means that you are not dependent on anyone else for your well-being. You will not seek validation because you will already know your worth. You will not need constant sharing because you have learned to enjoy your own sharing. A person who has mastered solitude does not need Escape to distractions. This doesn't mean that companionship and relationships aren't valuable. Rather,human connections can be beautiful but they must come from a place of joy and stability,not from a fear of loneliness.
When a person enters a relationship to escape loneliness,they are merely seeking to fill a void and this will create slavery for them. But when a person enters a relationship while they are full inside, they are not seeking to take from the other person, because greed lies in taking. Rather, they seek to share, and in this way, their relationship becomes rich, rather than burdened with expectations.
The problem is that most people have spent their entire lives searching for happiness in the wrong places. They believe that if they achieve certain goals, establish the right relationships,or gain social acceptance,they will eventually be happy. But this is like chasing the horizon. No matter how far you run, it will always seem out of reach. This is because the nature of the mind is to always seek something more regardless of what you achieve.
