Are You Lonely or Loner?

Most of us have been raised in a crowded family, and are taught to cherish the community, but very often we do acquirean impulse to break away.But this often makes those loving hearts ,that raised us with immence love and care, lonely.But what we confuse is a lonely with a loner.A loner is someone who is occupied to keep pace with the mission of rainfall.The -pitter patter pitter sometimes falling slowly sometimes embarace the window class like the decoits .A lonely person is not necessarily someone who is detouched from a family , she may have a decent family and average relationship still she craves for the company she thinks she deserve but life is depriving her.In the age of social networking, virtual friends, round the clock updating of your activities on Face book or Twitter, having a robust number of "Friends" on FB, why are we getting more and more lonely? Even, if you have your occasional friend's get-together, family dinners etc., don't you feel something amiss somewhere. Is it not the genuineness of relationships that we miss these days? The warmth of true and caring relations? What do you say?

Loneliness is increasingly being seen as a clinical condition, no longer as an indulgence. It has bad effect on a person's health and can be contagious too.Some people have a predisposition to feel lonely while there are some who are happy even when living alone. This demonstrates a quality of happiness and contentment or the lack of it which people are unable to comprehend. In modern times, people are lonelier than ever before despite having all the money and gadgets to pass their time.Sometimes, it may help, when you strike the right chord by choosing an activity which fulfills your needs giving you the much needed mental peace. Sometimes, you may be lucky to find that reliable friend who pulls you out of your loneliness, so it depends on you how you think you can be helped. In sharp contrast, just a hundred years ago, when there were no means of entertainment (even radio or TV) people were more lively and social than us. Today there are hundreds of channels on cable TV and we surf them without any purpose while our parents were happier when there were just 1-2 channels to watch. All the money and gadgets have no doubt made life easier but they have not necessarily made us happier or more content.The problem with us is that we often conclude ourselves into the "Lonely " category.But we often deprive ourselves from the bliss of solitude .
