What is Loneliness

I

 see that life is presenting itself in a slow motion devoid of background music. The only sound I hear is my heartbeat. There are so many people around. But, here I am alone.

There is so much to do – work, studies, reading, writing and so on – But I feel alone. I am very busy, yet I am alone.

This makes me wonder what loneliness is.

Is it really being alone or the feeling of being alone? Is it caused by lack of people around or the absence of people whom you expect to be with you? Is it caused by monotony or will it come across as an epiphany.

Is loneliness a physical state or mental? Or is it triggered by memories or the absence of such memories?

I ask this because I fail to understand. The state of loneliness seems like a deep and vast ocean – never ending.

People come and go…

Years pass…

Seasons change…

But, loneliness remain!

Can it be because I am not comfortable with myself? Or because I am too comfortable with myself that I want someone else to bother me? Or maybe I am loving myself too much that I don’t mind sharing the same with someone else?

Or am I just making up such a state for the sake of a blog post?

Is loneliness as complicated as love and life?

I am not atheist…

But after thinking about loneliness for so long all I can say is the creator has a strange sense of humor!
