Solitude Wins....

In the present world, everyone is so busy in running through their goals and money. Life has become so materialistic that even a small conversation takes place for some or the other reason. In this chaos, still the winner is solitude. It is the general tendency of the human being, to listen to himself, interact with others to take their viewpoints, but take the decision on its own. It resembles to the wind that decides its direction and then let others follow it ...

Solitude and loneliness are many a times used interchangeably, but there is a lot of difference between them. Loneliness is a negative term when you don't have people to talk to you, while solitude is the state when you are alone but not lonely, and you can provide yourself a wonderful company 

As stated by Paul Johannes Tillich, "Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone.  And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone. " 

There is a lot of argument on whether long term solitude is desirable for a being or not. In terms of medical and health perspective, it is known as the state of depression and loneliness, while spiritualists says, " It is the state of spiritual enlightenment ". 

When some person commits some crime, he is either sent to jail or in complete isolation, when you are kept apart from all other beings..there solitude is regarded in negative sense. But, yes... this negativity is being generated as a result of negative acts. So, lets keep this apart. 

Reading, thinking, creativity, experiencing the nature etc are some activities when you really need solitude to win yourself

For example, a temple is a place where you hear  chants and prayers, even it creates a lot of noise. It generates peace n calmness in the heart. It takes you out from all destruction and humdrum around you and you feel you are the single soul in this hush rush of different colors, different people, different worlds, different lives. 

When you stand in front of the tides in the sea, it attracts you towards it, it calls you to come and be the part of it, you will always feel that these tides are causing destruction to the world beside you, but their is immense silence and peace that is being nourished within you at that time. You will feel that you are the king of this world.

Solitude is a synonym of pleasure for some people. Some people consider it as a part of internal desire to keep themselves away from all social interactions in order to gain some kind of victory or some new invention.

Even, the psychiatrists suggests to keep some patients in isolation , in order to protect the whole environment . 

Sometimes, solitude within you becomes the winner of your whole world, because it takes you apart from the expectations you have from others, it gifts you freedom . It takes you apart from all the arguments and distractions.

It, therefore many a times provide you the way to reach your goal. It leads you towards the eternal silent world where you are away from all doubts and distractions and you will really feel the winner of your life...
