Utilizing People

Im often told by this one particular person that we are all here for a purpose. True no doubt but some situations are different. There are exceptions to every rule and so there are exceptions to rule of existence of purpose. There are times when the sole reason of being with a person is companionship and not to fulfill any purpose but these days not many people seem to get that. But coming to think of it they are actually right about it in their own way, they have become so selfish that all they can think of is their own interests and nothing else matters to them. Why is it that when you find your dating partners that you forget your friends, why does dating restrict your life to just one person??? Life has so much to offer than just one person, its amazing to open up to life and lap up the various offerings of life. What about those people who are not dating at my age why should we simply be left behind...alone??? Left looking and wondering why time and again do people restrict their lives to one person. Thats where the concept of utilizing people comes in...we begin to surround ourselves with new people even though they may not match our wavelength yet, to shoo away the loneliness left by the people about whom we really cared, we start spending time with these new people and eventually do manage to keep ourselves busy...and if luck favours we manage to have fun again and touch base with our old selves not to mention see a different side of our personality which may have been dormant before due to various reasons. Utilizing things is normal but utilizing people is another thing all together...and not with very good consequences, yet we all end up doing it. I have people around me 24/7 Im trying my best to surround myself with things to do all the while cause if my brain is idle everything simply comes rushing back. Memories seem to be the only companion now in times of loneliness...they seem to rush back at all the wrong times, help at times but usually tend to throw me back into the same old depression which Im so badly trying to come out of. But looks like I need to utilize everything around me to get out of it...be it things or situations.
