I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
These lines from GREEN DAY inspire me to write this post.
How many times in a day do you feel that you are alone ? 'Alone' here, doesn't mean that you are alone in a room or house. What I'm trying to ask is, how many times do you feel from inside, when a voice in you says that you have noone with you ? Even though you are standing in a crowd of thousands, you still feel alone. It happens atleast once a day with us, whether you agree with it or not, it's upto you. Let me tell you I get that feeling atleast 24 times in a day, once in every hour of the day.
This feeling is there when you are away from home, away from your comfort zone, away from family. This feeling of being alone takes over you and your thinking methodology. The feeling gains prominence when you are with a group of people and you are being ignored (knowingly or unknowingly) or when your existence is not considered. This feeling gets deeper inside as time passes, & finally you break out, not being able to bear it. These people get better slowly.
In some cases, people hold this feeling inside them and never tell anything about it. The worst thing about this feeling is,that it gives you a sinking kind of feeling. You start feeling weak from inside. You feel tired, disheartened and ya 'ALONE'. These kind of people move away from that group or situation silently or thinking that they will be fine but they suffer from this sinking feeling daily and it gets more intense. After moving away they suffer more by seeing those people again and again. They also have an emotional outburst (never in public). They try to work out of this by keeping themselves busy, occupied and do things that give them materialistic happiness and nothing more. But all the while they try to work it out, they get deeper into the feeling. They loose concentration over work. They hardly get a smile on their face (a smile that comes from inside). These people become the lonely walkers in life. I call them the 'CRUSADERS' of life. They are the one's who really "WALK ALONE".
I humbly request to you all, that if you know any of the lonely walker, please get them back before they go missing. Most of these people are whom you failed to recognise.

Hey bro, very well said... Difficult to guess the intent if someone is working hard for fun or he feels alone when doing nothing...if work is his only ally
ReplyDeleteBut then i guess the other side of being with others and expecting a lot out of them is not less fatal :)....
Another common habit of people of being judgemental...somehow gets to you if you tread a different path...and it naturally starts with the closest ones as the care the most of about your future..sometimes at the cost of your happiness....
And yes we all should try to celebrate differences rather than following certain utopian standards...and respect each others differential capabilities
good research

ReplyDelete@harshit: thnx buddy....u will c it pretty soon
I think being Alone also helps in Retrospecting whatever good / bad that has happened. Its a resting time to allow metamorphosis of our attitudes. What we feel shapes us and in that regard ... some amount of loneliness is certainly welcome.
