The Art of Being Alone

If you are happy with the person you are alone with, you wouldn’t need the noise of the world to distract or entertain you.

I have written a lot about ‘how to deal with loneliness’ and initially, I used to feel sorry for myself. I thought if I am writing on this topic then everyone would know that I am lonely.

And even being alone is not a crime nor a punishment yet we have been trained to treat ‘the time we spend with ourselves as loneliness’ and then curse ourselves for feeling lonely.

How very generous are we towards our souls?

I am not here to lecture you but here are a few things that you need to understand if you want to be at peace with yourself.

1. Being Alone is Not a Curse, It’s a Blessing:

Pick any movie, book, or series, and you will find a similar pattern in all of them. Any guesses about what it might be?

These books/movies start with a cute little girl/boy who is all alone. People bully him/her and then out of nowhere, the hero enters in the picture and saves this innocent girl from the cruelty of the world. If not the boy then the girl comes along and saves the boy.
