Trashy Entry #4: THE 21ST CENTURY EPIDEMIC TAKING PEOPLE BY STORM- II

REMEDY:

It is definite now that we’re knocking the wrong doors. The loneliness is the weakness persisting in our minds, and not of the surroundings. There are many notable moments when we feel all alone even in a bountiful gathering. Thus, it’s nothing wrong with the place, air or weather. The glitch is in the mind, a feeling that emerges from inside, like a void that builds when we believe that people or objects would fill it when we’ll need them to. Henceforth, the cure remains with us too.

Find a hobby today! Seek the things that make you happy, even after you’ve spent hours doing it all alone and continue the ritual. We humans are creators by nature. The bliss that we seek in building something is far comparable. So find the maternal instinct inside you that keeps you going even in dull times by creating a unique piece.

Social work: Develop a habit to do something good for the society or the environment. It swells our heart with pride and sense of worth.

Invest in the relations from the start: Family is the most blessed gift from God. Despise it or like it, but they’re the reality of our existence. The time now invested in those who are close to our hearts and try to be available in their needs, can build a strong foundation to a healthy family. This gives a great sense of belongingness.

Get a pet! The innocence and overwhelming unconditional love of a pet keeps us feeling loved and wanted.

Travel and nature: Learn to relax and enjoy the nature. Nature is our ultimate undoing. We are all designed for the wilderness. But during our little span of mortal life, we seldom steal moments to stop and smell the flowers. Thus, time to learn to breathe in the fresh aroma of the flora, bathe yourself in the purple light of the setting sun, and calm your mind with the sound of the flowing water. Go places, if you can, see the wondrous creation of the Mother Nature. There is no end or any boundary that can limit the thing of beauty that embarks the joy forever.

It’s true that we are all designed to play our roles in life. But in doing so, we often forget that we’re created by nature to mingle in it one day. We keep running throughout our youth and when we stop at the finish line, we stand there confused and wonder what to do next. The old age is not the stage of loneliness as we all fear that it is. It’s basically the stage to sit back and reap the investments that we made while running our way here.

After all, sitting in a corner and sipping a nice drink with a book or ipad is actually not a bad thing to do. But doing it all over again and every single day for the next twenty years is what scares us all. Train your mind to love the beauty of life rather than fearing about the future. “And if we die alone???” Well, we all die alone. It’s not a group thing to do. So, why worry about that yet? It’s an altogether different topic.
