Albert Einstein once remarked, "It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely."
Loneliness is one strange emotion that everyone feels quite often in life. it is the fear of loneliness that affect all human beings and it is because of this particular fear that human beings are in an eternal quest for companionships. it is for this simple reason that we all are so keen on making friends where ever we go and also so keen to treasure these relations that we make. The sense of having friends, relatives and loved ones gives you a sense of security that you have people to talk to, you have people to rely on and people to love.
However, there are often quite a number of times when you might just be surrounded with tons of people and yet feel so damn lonely! It's not that you are not surrounded by friends, you might just have your closest friends with you but you just can't help feeling lonely. it's such a strange case but you just can's help feeling like that. i sometimes do identify with what Albert Einstein is trying to convey through his remark and often wonder what does a person do at that time??? how does he come out of this peculiar case of loneliness? Is it because he can't identify with that person or that situation? Or is it universal and everyone goes through it?
My best friend told me that it might be because you don't want to be surrounded by a particular group of people. Then if you dont want to be surrounded by your friends and family who do you want to be surrounded with???
Hmmmmm........too many questions and no ansewers at all.

oh man ... a stirring piece...
n the last question u put forth... is jst so mind boggling... that it actuaaly made me think..... n become sad of the situation
but stilll im waiting for a positive piece from u... some incident where u felt gud n happy..
yes loneliness is scarry... VERY VERY frightening... but then what gives comfort is your own self...
Many questions that u raised there have no answers... and no matter how hard u try to find you might never get answers to them... the only answer that I get when I ask these things to myself is... MY OWN SELF!
Try being with you own self... maybe that makes the loneliness not so lonely! :)
And trust me... we are always there... there's nothing as loneliness atleast until we are all together... just look at it from that perspective! :)
Lots of Love

what does one say to that? it doesn't go away. that much i know. sometimes, when we have all the people we know around us, we want a little time by ourselves. just a bit of urban luxury, we think. how it can turn into a reality, we hardly ever think of. when we have that cup of coffee, we have that little chic cafe, a book to read perhaps...just that we have nowhere else to go...no one else to talk to...
It is one of the most awkward moments you face in life when you feel lonely especially surrounded with people you know!
I think the question is 'what do you do in such a circumstance?' I guess this question is right up there with 'Is there life beyond our planet?'!!
