Two lost souls who found each other

The Big ‘M!’

Why are there so many lonely people in this world?

Since we began our journey, we have discovered something, which has surprised us both. The number of lonely people out there. We have uncounted so many yet why haven’t they found someone, found each other. Well maybe I have the answer.

It because of this world, this life we live in. It is designed to keep people apart. To force then to live as separate individuals. To be alone. Why would we do this, well because it is out of our hand, out of our control, you see, it takes money to bring people together, and some of the loneliest in our world are the ones furthest from us. The ones furthest away.

No money means no love. And yet I am not talking about huge sums; no, I am talking about just having enough, enough to be with the one you love. Yet this world, Well it is designed to keep people apart.

I am sad today, because I know I am not the only lonely person in this world, who has a chance at happiness yet may never be able to take that chance because of the big ‘M!’

Not only Money... Many people are lonely because they are going for good work, career etc. and they don't have time for love...

Alone does not necessarily mean lonely. Some who have tasted love many times become soured on having someone else there to inflict pain. Love hurts...everyone knows that. Being alone offers one the ability to do what one wants, when one wants to do it, without having to worry about what someone else may think.

In today's world, it is almost impossible to find one person who is aiming towards the same goals as you, thinks the way that you do, and does not waver over the long haul.

With cheating and divorce at an all time high, many of us would rather just pass on so-called love.

So...the next time you meet or see someone who is living alone, don't assume that he or she is lonely...many, many times, the individual is alone by choice and actually happier than those who think that they "have" someone.

I agree with you. It appears that indeed, more and more people are getting lonely. how strange- the great tecnological advances the west has made- did not make Life any better. How have these things made us love each other better? (this is my question as i see my country which traditional culTures and strong family and community ties are being destroyed thanks to colonizati0n, westernization and globalization)

when people are on their deathbeds, do they think about the material things they could have bought, or the peoPle they shouLdve spent m0re time wiTh?

the internet for one, did not bring peopLe any closer. we can send emails instantly, join numerous foruMs, have weblogs with commeNts, we have so many acquaintances- but does this mean we now have MORE FRIENDS???

we are serving science and "Progress" rather then they serving us.

However, loneliness, brought by the modern way of life, is still very accepdet, alghough human beings are social by default.

There have been times in my life when I have had a good income; there have been times when I haven’t; there have been times when I have felt alone, and there have been times I haven’t.

Sometimes, when I have been alone, I have not been lonely, yet other times, when I have been surrounded by friend and family, I have been so alone. Maybe there are times when we need that someone to be there, just there, not necessarily doing anything but just knowing they are there if need be, and yet there are other times when we need only ourselves.

Neither of these positions are right or wrong, they just are. Therefore, maybe the secret is as simple as placing yourself in the right place at the right time. Easier said than done; yes! But, we must still try.
