You are alone in crowded room

“You are alone but only lonely, if you don’t like to be with the person you are alone with”

The above line by Aristotle had changed my thinking regarding life. When I had seen this context in my life and of others, I had felt that “this is the philosophy of life”.
You have to admit this fact that you are living alone, may be in the crowded room, and may be with your wife, girl friend, and husband. They are alone in there aloneness and that aloneness doesn’t touched each other.
But people are presuming that wife should know the husband, the husband is assuming that wife should know him. I had seen over here that every body is working as a mind reader, and one should know, others need and others problems. This assumption had made the life of people worst than hell.
Nobody knows you, not even you, so don’t expect that any body else should know you. It is not possible in the very nature of things. We all are strangers over here, perhaps we had met here and we are together, but our aloneness is there.
I know as a layman, it is very hard to believe this reality but the fact is fact. A boyfriend and girlfriend go to the movie, get lost in the crowd, dances in the discs, forget themselves, drink alcohol and take drugs, but somehow don’t let there aloneness come to there conscious mind? And there lies the difference. This makes the life of today’s youth so complex and sophisticated.
To make your life simple and sound you have to maintain the fact that you are alone in this world and which are no way you can avoid. And there is no way to change its nature. It is your authentic reality. “It is you”.
