A word of caution:
Don’t act like a hero because you are lonely.
You may be surprised. Self-pity is a subtle form of pride. Proud people
glory in their achievements while
people who self-pity glory in their sufferings.
It is really dangerous to dwell too long in loneliness because we are
created to have relationships with one another.
It is a strong part of human nature that cannot be erased. If you grew
up living alone in a jungle, you will most probably interact with animals or
plants and talk to them in your own language.
·
The greatest worry is when someone dwells
too long in their loneliness these few things can happen.
·
The loneliness addict shun all attempts to
reconnect rendering their people around them lots of pain when their efforts to
help the person gets rejected.
·
The relationships around them slowly
crumbles and when people start to ignore the lonely person, they will feel more
justified when they finally exclaim, “Look at them; I was right all along that
they never cared for me at all!”
·
The loneliness addict eventually gets immune
to the pain and embraces loneliness as a way of life. He is too lazy to change.
His disease spread to other ‘survivors’.
This should motivate you enough to take
action. Don’t wait, do it NOW!
Here is an interesting quote:
Loneliness was the
first thing that God's eye named not good.
- John Milton
Finding Our Purpose
in the Wilderness
Here is a story designed to motivate you. When the dust
settles and we have made all the money in the world, reached the height of fame
and obtained the epitome of power, what gives us true meaning in life?
Many living things need each other to survive. If you have
ever seen a Colorado aspen tree, you may have noticed that it does not grow
alone. Aspens are found in clusters, or groves.
The reason is that the aspen sends up new shoots from the roots. In a small
grove, all of the trees may actually be connected by their roots!
Giant California redwood trees may tower 300 feet into the sky. It would seem
that they would require extremely deep roots to anchor them against strong
winds. But we're told that their roots are actually quite shallow -- in order
to capture as much surface water as possible. And they spread in all
directions, intertwining with other redwoods.
Locked together in this way, all the trees support each other in wind and
storms. Like the aspen, they never stand-alone. They need one another to
survive.
People, too, are connected by a system of roots.
We are born to family and learn early to make friends. We are not meant to
survive long without others.
And like the redwood, we need to hold one another up. When
pounded by the sometimes vicious storms of life, we need others to support and
sustain us.
Have you been going it alone? Maybe
it's time to let someone else help hold you up for a while. Or perhaps someone
needs to hang on to you.
Life Still Has A Meaning
If there is a future there is time for
mending-
Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.
Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow-
If you're looking forward to a new tomorrow.
If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping-
When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.
Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling-
If there is time for praying there is time for healing.
So if through your window there is a new day breaking-
Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching,
If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning-
There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning.
