Have you ever stood alone? Have you ever been alone? It is like posing for a group photo. It is not difficult to pose for a group photo by leaning on the body of those standing nearby and placing your hands on their shoulders. But posing for a single photo is difficult. You need to pose according to the photographer’s instructions, which is a bit bothersome task.
It’s easy to become one among the crowd and shout slogans. We don’t have to struggle too much with lip-synching in a group song. But that is not the case with singing a solo song. It’s difficult, especially for those who are not singers. Being alone is hard. It calls for attitudes. It demands strength. It deserves a clear idea and courage.
Standing alone is a moment of realizations. It is when you are alone that you realize that there is no one with you. To be have no one with you means that all promises given to you so far have been wiped out. They shout out that you are alone and that there is no one for you to share in your sorrows and joys.
You realize how big the world is only when you are left alone. When we are with someone, we invest all our attention and care in them, in their happiness. We are pre-occupied how to consider them and think about the love they give. Then we never feel alone. But when you are unexpectedly left alone. When you realize that you are alone…
In fact, it is that realization what gives us strength to fight and survive. Being alone leads to certain realizations. When you are alone, you will understand the pain of being alone. Then you will realize the value of being in company. Furthermore, it’s when we stand alone that we realize how strong we are. Then we realize that we need to travel may roads.
Sometimes, we become lonely not because we do not have anyone, but because we trusted someone blindly. It’s not because you don’t love anyone, but because you love someone, who does not reciprocate your love.
The truth is that we are alone even when we surrounded by people. In one’s deep self, every man and every woman are alone. Outwardly, we are surrounded by relationships. Father, mother, wife, husband, children, siblings, co-workers, friends, neighbors… but inside us, we are alone. Everyone is alone. Everyone has an inner world that no one knows and no one admits. In that world every man is alone.
Learn to stand alone, learn to live alone, learn to go alone. Be ready to live for yourself too. Even if no one is with you, even if no one comes with you, you have to move forward alone with the firm conviction that the remaining life is yours alone. You are full of confidence when you walk alone briskly!
