“Why are you always by yourself?” I have been asked this so many times it is like a compulsory question in an exam. Most of the times I prefer being by myself, away from the cluster of a busy life filled with people. “No am not sad or angry or anti-social” I just like being by myself, just like the sun in the morning sky. I came to the realization that most times it is assumed that those who keep to themselves have something to hide.
I am not so sure about that, but what do I know!. Loneliness is described as the state of being in solitary isolation. A separation from the masses & seclusion from the prying eyes of others. Look at Leonardo Da Vinci a well know Italian painter and a jack of all trades, who got most of his motivation and inspiration for his works through secluding himself from the commoners to come up with the most brilliant of inventions & paintings.
When you are in solitude it could be that you seek to clear your mind, to have some quiet time or to forge plans that need you in your own zone of silence. They say that silence is golden I believe it is gift of clarity. A crowd surrounds you, yet you walk alone. Alienated from the world outside, you live in the cocoon of your solitude but you yearn for a heart that sings with you.
The monotony of solitude or loneliness in life stimulates a creative mind. Take heed that you let not solitude consume you nor grasp you in its claws the rest of your life. To be alone is acceptable but to be enslaved to it, is treachery and an abomination to the main core reason of being on earth and alive. To some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves.
Loneliness is not a curse but it is a blessing and an opportunity to think alone. The most beautiful music in the world is your own heartbeat, it assures you that you will survive even when the whole world leaves you alone.
