Alone???

'Often we can help each other most by leaving each other alone; at times we need the hand-grasp and the word of cheer.'
Man is said to be a social being but more than often we have this strong tendency to detach ourselves from society. Little do we think about the people around us who love us and are trying desperately to reach out to us and help. But in that illusionary peaceful solitude that is acquired we become blind to all the care, love and affections shown to us. There are some people who are so disillusioned by their solitude that they get irritated at any display of emotion...I just wonder how to help them. I have been through this phase myself but thankfully extracted myself before I ended up losing the ones who care about me...but it was only because I let myself be helped. There is no use shutting out everyone from your life...it does nothing much other than just hurting the people around you. It generates more hatred for you than respect for the space that you require. More than anything its frustrating to get your point across...its useless to cut yourself off from the world; seriously what are you trying to achieve...the feeling of the life of a hermit??? It can be really peaceful for a while but when it gets bugging and you want to get back to your social life it will be very difficult to find people who are willing to accept you after your hiatus. So, for all those who want their solitude at the cost of hurting others for heaven's sake get out of that narrow mindset...open up to life, get a life for yourself and finally stop hurting those around you who genuinely love you rather than surrounding yourself with people who show mock concern.
