Dealing With Loneliness.. by Sarang(f): 8:24pm On Jan 31, 2016
You'd agree with me that loneliness today is a universal problem that affects nearly people of different ages,races and backgrounds,the number however kept being on the rise especially as the number of social networks continue growing.
Did you know though,that people who spent almost half of their days on social networks are said to be the loneliest?
You might think though that, that is impossible.

Now consider this,what actually determines frienship,is it the quality or the quantity of friends you have? More and more people believe it to be the later,but that is not true.
When it comes to friendship,quality towers above quantity.
The most popular people though surrounded by lots of people constantly, at times have no real friends. Friendship goes beyond numbers and likes or comments on your social networking pages,it involves trust,personal knowledge and love.
But the truth still remains that everyone at some point in their life,have felt alone.. Loneliness has been ranked as twice as harmful as Obesity and equivalent to not less than fifteen cigarates a day,it makes you vulnerable and is a possible death factor.
Like I said earlier,having one million friends on facebook or instagram does not cure loneliness or guarantee friendship.
Learn to make friends. Friendship is a neccesity just like food is and everyone needs it for survival. Know this though that your friends must not neccesarily be your age mates or peers,you can find good friends among both the older people and younger ones.

You learn not only from the maturity of the older ones but their experiences too,their intensive knowledge and wisdom,and this helps you to appreciate them. You inturn impact this knowledge on the younger ones to help them grow in wisdom and discernment, to be able to make the best decisions in life.
Sometimes though we need our moments. To be on our own and think about our life;our solitude. Sometimes rather than see your loneliness in a negative light,think of it as a time to reflect on your life,appreciate it and see value in it,this itself is a desirable quality which will draw you closer to people.
Yes! You can deal postively with loneliness.

I think its better to be lonely than to be with bad(wrong) company.
Lonliness is not completely a bad thing.
Nice write up though
