friendless

"Man is a social animal", thats what i read in my moral science classes when i was a
little boy .We need friends and mates  to share ideas and thoughts .We exist cause we can communicate and express ourselves.We cant live alone and be aloof.Well what
stirred up these lessons was a article that i read lately .It discussed about the risinng
rate of people who feel alone and lonely even after living in a socialy vibrant
enviorment."More and more people are seeking professional psychiatrist help to cope
with this state", it said.These people are among us and inside us.People who have
family and friends.The young generation forms a major portion of this group.Now
that was shocking,boys and girls who spend hours on social networking sites and
are connected round the clock with their mates.How can they feel lonely?
What all of us have experienced is an inner urge to communicate with someone who
understands us.CODEWORD "Soulmate" or "best friend".We walk out every day among
the masses looking for that someone.People also call it "Love".We have been biologically programmed and mentally prepared into believing that we will reach a state of calm and happiness once we find them.We watch movies, read books and expect to find buddies like Hermoine and Ron.But life would have been very if it was easy to find these people.We make friends ,we share our secrets and our problems with them, we tell them that how much do we love them but not always do there feeling comes out to be the same for us.And hardly do anyone care about whats happening in someone else's life when each one of us have so much on our own plate.Expectations break and you only find no shoulder to lay your
head on.But still we get up in the hope that sooner or later we would succed.We feel
lonely and it starts clouding your brain.You slowly start believing in the opposite.The
warmth that you once shared disappears with time.But we again and again go out in
the same hope and each time the after effect is greater.Young people who have hundreds of friends on Facebook dont expect most of them to turn up for them.
People go to doctors who charge princely sums,make us comfortable in there beautiful offices to talk to us and to know the things that goes around in our head,when all the answers are already with us.Our conscience read out the rules to us daily to lead a happy life.But in the hustle and tussle of this everyday struggle to get ahead in the rat race we ignore the voice of god that is our true guiding light.We go against it so many times that it gets lost among the thousand thoughts that we have everyday.How do we expect to live peacefully when our mind is not peaceful .When we are struggling within ourselves ,it's only us that we can get help from.We need to get rid off those thousand thoughts which eats up our peace of mind.Once we do that and only listen to that inner voice everything appears to be clear.You can make better decisions ,understand  others and approach difficult situations with a new found confidence.You can judge other people effortlessly.
Once you do this it will lead you to that person.A feeling of content would envelope you and you would resonate with happiness.
