It is a well known fact that man is a social being and without communication , chances are that he or she would not be able to survive since loneliness of the mind can affect the physical body as well....
I don't knew this fact but for me I can't live alone I always need friends to share happiness as well as sorrows. :blink:

As a student of sociology, I remember to have read during my college studies that only God and beasts can live alone. But we as humans really want someone to be there and as you pointed out - both during happiness and sorrow.

This is because man is a social animal and lives in group like other animals so it can't live alone. :blink:

:woohoo: :woohoo: Man is a social animal :woohoo: and what about women :woohoo: :woohoo:
Sorry for the joke. But this was a popular line amongst our class during college. I couldn't help repeating that here.

Loneliness is not always a curse. At times Loneliness works like a boon. But, its necessary to strike a balance to have the best of the two worlds.
Sociology does not recognise God as an entity...In fact in sociology Religion and God are both institutions created by man. According to Hindu mythology all the gods had consorts and many followers and a grand thriving social life.Shiva was the only one who referred being alone, that to for a while, until Parvati literally seduced him after which he got married to her and became a family man !
Internet and books are nest companions. One may feel lonely even in a crowd.

I have always felt lonely even in places like ST stands or railways stations. But if I am answering to questions or being active in forums, that gives me a feeling like I am virtually with my friends. Internet is a boon, no doubt.

My hubby and daughter leave home before 8.30 am and am all alone at home till 4 0'clock, she reaches back. I used to feel loneliness before I joined here. So, it's sure Boddunan has really increased my immunity ;) :cheer:

I once got a sms....can't remember its correct wordings, yet I will try to quote.
Loneliness is a blessing and pleasant thing, if it's gifted by ourselves, but it becomes a curse if given by others :cheer:

That's right. And as I have said above, when I am working online, I don't feel lonely at all. I totally forget the world around me. And I have experienced this joy hundreds of times. B)

Yes I agree with this words as I had seen one of my aunt who stay alone also faced this problem.
As i think in some conditions when we want to achieve our aim of life it play a good role in our life otherwise not.
I don't think loneliness helps at all. It's more of a disease and I would call it an incipient stage of depression. So beware!!
:(
loneliness increase frustration and it boring also. But some time it is useful. When we have some problem that loneliness is help ful in solving it. "Live me alone"

We can utilize the time in interested matters is used to reduce the feeling of loneliness.
