This article is dedicated to discovering WHY WE FEEL LONELY.
Humans are subject to many feelings and emotions, the one feeling that leaves us empty and depressed is lonelyness. It can be one of the worse feeling in the world, and this is in a world where there are billions of people, how is this possible?
What is Loneliness?
Loneliness is a feeling, a feeling created by something that happened or something we created in our mind.
But the word lonelyness is not a word that is by itself, Oh no – there are a string of words that are companions such as emptiness, depression, sad, hopeless, and others.
Lonelyness is also associated with being unhappy, but we must make a very important distinction here – there are some people who are very comfortable with being alone, so we want to be careful with the two phrases: Being Alone and Feeling Alone.
Being alone is a choice, you might hear someone say “DON’T BOTHER ME I WANT TO BE ALONE”, they are telling you that they choose to be by themselves, this is fine.
People who FEEL ALONE are generally the ones that feel lonely, in a way this is still a choice, but it’s not the same as someone outwardly wanting to be alone.
Why Are You Feeling Lonely?
We want to reemphasize that feelings originate from thoughts.
There’s a whole bunch of stuff going on inside of us that stimulates feelings and in the case of being lonely these are not good feelings. So, since this site deals with sin, is sin have something to do with lonely feelings?
I think we can agree that lonelyness is a negative feeling and sin is associated with negativity, so to make it easy we can say SIN has something to do with thoughts of lonelyness.
We Need ANSWERS…
If you are looking for answers take a look first at your thoughts.
Do you believe you can control what you think? The answer should be YES.
The answer to emerging from a pit of loneliness is not necessarily trying to understand all the reasons you feel lonely, but to figure out how to divert the thoughts you get about being alone. I know this all sounds a little funky, but almost everything starts with our thoughts.
Many people fill their lonely gap with pets. Why is this? Pets need you, they occupy your thoughts and in return your thoughts are on them (pets) and off of you and your problems.
Soap operas and reality shows are very popular, one reason is it takes out mind off of US and occupies it with the show. Of course some people find these shows entertaining, but a lot of times it takes your mind off your troubles temporarily.
It’s really in your court to find the RIGHT, and that is the key – the RIGHT diversion to control your thoughts. You see the sequence is pretty simple – loneliness starts as a thought which turns into a feeling and then finishes up as an action or emotion. This could be crying or even manifesting itself into a health issue.
If you believe you allow negative thoughts to enter your mind, then you can unallow it, this is where you have control.
This is where understanding sin can help you learn the why’s and how’s of the way we work, and by knowing this you can guard the thoughts that you allow in your mind. Once you learn to do this life will be a much happier and a LESS LONELY place to live.
