The lonely people among us

avigail

 

You greet them as you pass by, in your neighborhood.

You talk with them at work.

You can’t imagine how lonely they really are…

 

Some of them are in self-denial and accept solitary as a normal destiny. They stopped trying.

Some of them are married, having sex with their spouse or lover, sleeping with them in the same bed.

Yet they carry heavy burden of emptiness and isolation in their hearts.

They are sad, or cynical as a way to detach themselves from emotions.

They are not even friendly to themselves.

They are in escape mode using bad habits to run away from their own reflection, or slowly, sink in into depression.

 

What should we do, we the blessed with social net of care, compassion and love?

 

You may find they have no spark in their eyes.

Their faces are frozen as result of non-experience of empathy, love and appreciation for a long time.

 

Let’s give a hand, a hug, a smile, attention, appreciation and  kindness, the energy of true friendship.

Let’s be  generous – so that they can trust and recognize  that they are not thrown under the bus.

 

And by the way... loneliness can happen to all of us.
