*MOST OF US ARE LONELY.* What is loneliness? Most of us are lonely. Out of that loneliness, we want companionship. We escape from loneliness through every form of entertainment, religious as well as that which is most amusing. We escape in so many ways. But like a deep disease that must be cured, it is always there. So one must go into this very carefully because if we don’t understand it, our action, which is our daily relationship with each other, will distort that relationship. That relationship then becomes merely exploiting each other to escape from this deep abiding loneliness. Why are we so lonely? I don’t know if you have ever experienced the state of loneliness, isolation, having no relationship at all with others. Perhaps some of you have experienced this, or most of you. And if we don’t understand that loneliness, our actions will be distorted. So we are inquiring not only into action but also into loneliness, which destroys, disrupts, distorts all relationship in action. What is loneliness? Why are we so self-centred? Why are we in our own lives? We may have friends, be married and all the rest of it, but we are always concerned with ourselves. Our actions are self-centred: ambitious, greedy, envious, suffering, aggressive. That is fairly clear. Is that the root of this deep loneliness of man? And can that loneliness utterly disappear? When there is a hurt, psychological hurt, any action that takes place must inevitably be affected by the hurt. We get very hurt, not only about little things but deeply hurt in not being able to fulfil, not being able to achieve, not being able to become something. We get deeply hurt, and that hurt affects our actions. You cannot escape from distorting action if you are hurt. That is, as long as you have an image about yourself, you are going to be hurt. Inevitably. And when there is hurt, action will be destructive, will bring about conflict. Is it possible to be aware of this loneliness and not escape from it, but remain with it: not take a drink, not pick up a book, not rush off to some form of entertainment, but to completely, without any movement of thought, remain with that feeling of utter isolation? Then you will see, if you do, that feeling of isolation disappears entirely, because it is thought that creates the sense of isolation.

Omg what a profound truth

[@ShriNidhi-zu2im]

SUPPOSE I AM VERY LONELY. Though I am married, have children, go to the office, go to the temple and all that nonsense that goes on, I am utterly, profoundly lonely. Being lonely, I escape because I don’t know how to tackle that loneliness. I don’t understand what loneliness is, but I am frightened: this sense of existence in which there is no relationship with another, no sense of communication with another, thoroughly enclosed. Don’t you know these feelings? Wake up! As my brain doesn’t know how to solve it, it escapes. It escapes through entertainment. Whether it is religious entertainment or football, they are both the same. Do you agree? Are you really agreeing that religious entertainment, going to the temple, the puja and all the things that go on there, and football are the same? They are entertainments because they do not alter your life. They are just an amusement. Do you agree to this? Is it only a verbal agreement or actually saying, ‘They are the same’? Therefore finished with it. So what is loneliness? Without escaping, without running away into illusory, imaginary ideals, the actual fact is that I am despairingly, anxiously lonely. I may be married, I may have sex, I may have children, but this thing is rotting. Most of us are deeply hurt from childhood, and we carry that hurt throughout life. You can say it doesn’t matter, that it will not affect your action, but it does affect action because unconsciously, deeply, your actions are guided by your hurt. You build a wall around yourself not to be hurt more, and the consequences of that hurt are bitterness and more loneliness. And why do human beings go through this loneliness? Ask yourself. As two friends we are talking about this. Why? It must exist because of your actions. Your daily actions are self-centred. Your daily thoughts and activities are concerned with yourself. You may be a social worker and give your life to that, but the ‘me’ is still going on, only you have identified yourself with something. Like the communist identifies with the State, with the ideal, you identify yourself with something else. So as long as there is self-centred activity, there must be loneliness. I don’t know if you see this. If your chief concern is ‘me’, then that ‘me’ must act in a very narrow circle. And that action must inevitably produce this exhausting, despairing loneliness. Do you understand all this, not verbally but actually?

That’s true. I stay in a different country all alone. I don’t feel lonely. Sometimes I cannot understand why some ppl despite having so many ppl around keep feeling lonely. Some ppl out of loneliness keep talking hours in phone and then after the call again start to feel lonely. Loneliness is more of an internal thing. Just a bunch of friends and frequent meet ups will not help.

[@akashK1601]

Going to pubs to unwind to escape loneliness is not the solution to it.

[@pc_6]

This is so true, a lot of people turn to and rely on activities involving alcohol, smoking, partying, hooking up or dating with new strangers everyday thinking they're not lonely just because they are under the influence of some substance or crowd not realising the real meaning of fulfilment through real connection, which is the only thing that beats loneliness provided we understand that being alone and feeling painfully lonely are two very different things.

People are people first and north or south indian later. I found the love of my life in Bangalore and she's a proper Kannadiga. Even when I was new here, I was blown away by this city anyway. I came here in 2017 and the first thing I noticed were food joints every 50 meters. That's when I knew this was going to be fun. And then the first time I explored a pub here, I had a cultural shock and how chill people were in the crowds. Nobody was picking fights with some guy who accidentally brushed somebody's girlfriend because the crowd was packed and there was hardly any place to move. People were happy. That's the first time I saw so many happy people in one place. Man, Bangalore touched my soul.

Long term loneliness is certainly not a good thing for a person's mental wellbeing. However in the event of being in a social gathering with others, choose your company wisely - cut off people whom you consider toxic.

@@ShriNidhi-zu2im very well written!, I understand where you're coming from, to be honest I've never had problems till now to make new friends. This is also because I still am in my college and haven't stepped into the corporate world so have no experience regarding it, the bottom line that I truly believe in is that if you're truly there for a person, for no ulterior motive, you are bound to be friends, but in today's day and age, everyone does things for a reason, everything is a barter, plus life gets so hectic when you grow up, you have so much responsibilities to deal with, and they must be fulfilled. Ever wondered why the number of friends are highest in school? Because our hearts are in the purest forms, there are no judgements in schools, there is no "what you'll do in return if I'll do this for you", it's just you are at your purest heart with little to no bad experiences with people, and the number of friends decreases eventually from college to job to life. This also happens because the clean heart gets smart intrinsically and humans naturally have this instinct of not going to initiate new friendships due to their ego coming their ways hence making it difficult to form new bonds, Naval Ravikant once said "Love is always given" and sadly people want to be loved first only then they would want to give it back to others, but the fact is you have to give first then receive, and believe me once you start doing this selflessly, you'll start to notice the wonders of the world. I think we can be good friends too, and surely we should connect.. My insta username is the same mentioned here. Cheers to life you've got one new friend today hehehe :))) 🥂

Is it just me or the natives sounded very oblivious and ignorant to the problem?

[@ytadltspv]

not ignorant - 'natives' have our families here and get involved in each others' lives, our problem is lived thru alrdy - we also came from villages outside decades ago and all our people are elsewhere, some long gone, and those times were gentler even if we had much less money. now people that leave all their loved ones and roots behind just to find work and earn are in a much tougher life even with all the money and 'modern' facilities. it happens to every country and society that needs to earn money and loses its moorings - look at the us - detroit, etc. what were once thriving are all decadent now. people have to figure out their lives the way each can. i suspect the main reason for this loneliness is fear of the future looking at so many bad stories around - layoffs, failed relationships, etc. while the fix is right before us - learning from books and about ourselves and helping others in a structured way. hitting clubs and pizza huts for the weekend isnt the solution.

[@kirank777]

In the past in 90s and 2000s, families used to visit each other houses frequently and even friends. At that time people also used to work 8 to 9 hrs per day only. Now people work 12 hrs per day, sometimes on weekends too, out of stress, they take rest at home. Hardly talk to friends on phone and meet them very less. On top of this bad habits like being too much on smartphones even in late nights after work. In our country, most people don't give value to mental health and if someone speaks about it, he will be ridiculed and looked down. The day we realise that our physical and mental health are also equally important along with our career, these type of things will vanish. Its important to go socialise with like minded people so that we support each other and stay through thick and thin of our lives.

As time passes, many individuals prioritize starting families and spending time with loved ones. Those without families may experience feelings of loneliness. Age often influences one's level of commitment, with younger people typically having fewer responsibilities. Additionally, some people prefer solitude, choosing to socialize only with a small circle who share similar traits, opinions, and values, seeking mutual respect in their interactions.

Can One Go Beyond Loneliness? WHAT IS LONELINESS? Most of us know the feeling of being completely isolated. Though you are with your friends, in a group or with your family, you feel completely cut off, isolated. And that isolation, that loneliness is rather painful. Being aware of that pain we either escape from it, try to cover it up or rationalise it. But at the end of it, the loneliness still remains. Then what is one to do with it? What is this sense of loneliness? Is it the result of our daily life which is so self-centred, so egocentric, so selfish, which is all the time isolating, building a wall around oneself? That brings about a quality or feeling of utter loneliness, utter despair in that loneliness. If you do not escape from it and you see the absurdity of escaping, the fact that running away from it is part of that loneliness, then you have the energy to face loneliness. We are wasting that energy through verbal or actual escape, so when you realise the absurdity, the silliness of it, then you are facing loneliness.

" loneliness. Loneliness is a misunderstood aloneness. Once you misunderstand your aloneness as loneliness, the whole context changes. Aloneness has a beauty and grandeur, a positivity; loneliness is poor, negative, dark, dismal. “Everybody is running away from loneliness. It is like a wound; it hurts. To escape from it, the only way is to be in a crowd, to become part of a society, to have friends, to create a family, to have husbands and wives, to have children. In this crowd, the basic effort is that you will be able to forget your loneliness. “But nobody has ever succeeded in forgetting it. That which is natural to you, you can try to ignore - but you cannot forget it; it will assert again and again. And the problem becomes more complex because you have never seen it as it is; you have taken it for granted that you are born lonely."

It's not that there is anything good or bad with that but for people who are shy, aren't much on taking initiative themselves, aren't extroverted or simply don't know how to have conversations, it does make them feel lonelier. For others though, they sort of like that privacy.

[@anujachary4429]

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar says this about loneliness There is a global epidemic of loneliness today. So many people feel unloved. But you must know for sure that you are loved very much. You are held closely by the earth, this air. The earth loves you; that’s why it is holding you upright. The love of the earth is its gravitational force. The Divine loves you so dearly. Once you realize this, you will never feel lonely. Divine is the biggest victim of one sided love. He loves you so much and you don’t even recognize it. To come out of loneliness, you make friends with people who share something in common with you. But it is rare to find friends in knowledge who uplift each other. But remember that when the times are trying, they bring out the best in you and when the time is rewarding, you are given the best of the world and life is a bit of both.

*Most of us are lonely.* What is loneliness? Most of us are lonely. Out of that loneliness, we want companionship. We escape from loneliness through every form of entertainment, religious as well as that which is most amusing. We escape in so many ways. But like a deep disease that must be cured, it is always there. So one must go into this very carefully because if we don’t understand it, our action, which is our daily relationship with each other, will distort that relationship. That relationship then becomes merely exploiting each other to escape from this deep abiding loneliness. Why are we so lonely? I don’t know if you have ever experienced the state of loneliness, isolation, having no relationship at all with others. Perhaps some of you have experienced this, or most of you. And if we don’t understand that loneliness, our actions will be distorted. So we are inquiring not only into action but also into loneliness, which destroys, disrupts, distorts all relationship in action. What is loneliness? Why are we so self-centred? Why are we in our own lives? We may have friends, be married and all the rest of it, but we are always concerned with ourselves. Our actions are self-centred: ambitious, greedy, envious, suffering, aggressive. That is fairly clear. Is that the root of this deep loneliness of man? And can that loneliness utterly disappear? When there is a hurt, psychological hurt, any action that takes place must inevitably be affected by the hurt. We get very hurt, not only about little things but deeply hurt in not being able to fulfil, not being able to achieve, not being able to become something. We get deeply hurt, and that hurt affects our actions. You cannot escape from distorting action if you are hurt. That is, as long as you have an image about yourself, you are going to be hurt. Inevitably. And when there is hurt, action will be destructive, will bring about conflict. Is it possible to be aware of this loneliness and not escape from it, but remain with it: not take a drink, not pick up a book, not rush off to some form of entertainment, but to completely, without any movement of thought, remain with that feeling of utter isolation? Then you will see, if you do, that feeling of isolation disappears entirely, because it is thought that creates the sense of isolation.

That portion where that lady claims banglore has lots of book clubs & arts scene had me.rolling in laughter in the aisles😂😂😂 Books and Banglore are now miles apart.....except few streets and libraries frequented only by IAS, KAS aspirants, Anyways , on more sober note. Compare it with its twin city Cultural Chennai and then you realise what Bangalore real problem is . Bangalore has lost most of culture, arts and social life, it has lost its ethos. Money rules the roost in this cold-hearted city. Relationships.have been lost as even relatives dont visit each other as people are busy. Its just about professional.life, & shopping.malls which is so artificial.and only about money money - it just looks like some American city with no history, no past , just boring modern life. Real problem is what Bangalore has lost in last few decades Bangalore has lost Arts and theatre scene Love for literature and poetry Cultural heritage Cultural festivals are only.followed by small population of kannadigas,telugites. People from northern states ( a big reason for its current state ) feel it is beneath them to take part in local festivals and local.culture, they just want to make money and visit shopping malls. It has lost old heritage spaces as all replaced with modern buildings and shopping malls Sports as health fad has taken a decline as office times are.prohibitory Traditional classical Music scene is zero All.lakes have been covered.up to make more cement and glass buildings, 500 lakes lost and nobody cares, jai ho bangaloreans! All these above have converted.a.once warm social city into a cold professional city Did you notice The amount of road rage has increased , almost everyone has pent up anger Bangalore is only aping American cities , even its corporation amd govt is aping modern city life, where professional.life takes precedence over family life, IT culture has ruined a lot of social.life in Bangalore as it has increased the cost of living for all. . To summarize Banglore had cool weather but now it has become cold ( society wise ) Cool.weather Colder people ( pun intended) & compared with its twin city Chennai which still retains its cultural heritage, music, arts and a lovely social ethos Despite being bigger and more populated. It still has everything Bangalore has lost. Live and experience it as it would be an anti-thesis to your life in Bangalore.

Thats what marx was talking about, alienation from self and society. ✌️✌️

The title of this video should have been "Sad reality of living far away from home".. what has Bangalore got to do with anyone's loneliness? You move to any new city, you will be lonely unless you make an effort not to be lonely.
