Loneliness - The ideal state of emotion

Whenever we talk about all time great movies or all time great actors, we do get the mention of the Tom Hanks starrer “Cast Away”. Everything in the movie is awesome. All that is most striking in the movie is just the imagination that being alone for such a long time makes us feel so unnatural to our human tendency.

It’s true that we are a social animal. In fact every living thing in this world is. However life teaches us the most bizarre lessons as we grow, one which each of us experience in the journey of our livelihood, however different we maybe. Simply put it says that the probability of we having the most control on our emotion is only possible when we are under the least influence of the social being in our mind and body.

I know it sounds bizarre enough to everybody. But every relation that we bring in our life - the family that comes from the natural order of descending of our earlier roots, to the friends which we mutually choose as our own – all of these together make us loose our complete control on our emotion.

For instance, I didn’t like the Apple pie that my friend served me on my last trip to Vegas, but we were on a vacation and that would be the last thing to do lest my friend’s mood went off. I have coaxed my mom innumerable times on how important it is for her to take more care of her health with her growing age. But there’s only some amount that she can hear of me. whatever I may say. And that brings me worry, care and also fear to some extent.

Loneliness is that powerful state of being which makes us hear exactly what frequencies our heart is emitting. Its the ideal state for pure unadulterated state of emotion. With people around, though, it’s all just noise that decimates us from any chances for our actions to be able to decode and act exactly on what our heart really wants.

Nothing is ideal in this world, resources are limited and we need to share everything we have, so consequentally also our control on emotions. That’s the reason why nothing is permanent in this world. Everything is self-evolving, ever changing.

And tell you what guys... all these thoughts can only arouse in your mind when you are truly alone. Its when you have no fear of anybody, not even your own. Like I am sometimes, a lone writer possessed by the free world of possibilities. Funny, ain't it?

Let me know what you think. And yaa.... just do a small favor. Make yourself completely lonely, away from any other emotions or burdens, while you share with me your insights.
