lone, alone & loneliness ...
We are born & arrive alone, naked & crying with joy
The world merrily welcome us ~ today's "you" are the 8th billion + persons
With every newborn, like a clean sheet of paper, the minute life begins, your essay begins too - pages turned chapters turned books turned volumes
Some write short stories, other stories are good enough to stretch 5-6 decades and few make volumes ~ more importantly many end abruptly
When your time is up, there wouldn't be a choice to remain nor extendable
What is aspirations, success or happiness to each and everyone's journey? Harvard Uni has an ongoing survey which begun almost >60 years ago, tracking "what's happiness to you ~ opinions like good career, good jobs, huge earnings, being rich, fame, power... etc!" There were constant updates biannually. Now, their spouses were invited to opine too.
The Professor, about >70yo, reflected and shared: Some died early, some suffered mental breakdown & other medical challenges , there were successful careers and some made it to the fame league and there are a few divorces! Those who found HAPPINESS are those who have and enjoy family warmth and belongings. Singles enjoy life too when they find belonging to their preferred community. HEALTH was a topic few mentioned when they were young but it is a definitive 'must have' as age catches up
Married couples are happy but 'bickering couples' remain together because of companionship, not , exactly very happy but 'good to be with & around'; the poetic 'used to it!' and still remain married...
Notably, when one of the spouse pass on, the 'quality of happiness' drops and without adjustments and adaptations, loneliness can be 'fatal'
Excessive alcohol is disrupts life 借酒消愁 愁更愁
With controlled consumption, alcohol brews poetic moments and classics, eases tensions and stress and make conversions livelier
In moderation, the potency of alcohol greases relationship and eases solutions
When alone, alcohol epitomizes dreams and possibilities
Never drink yourself to the ground and the more you drink, the more truths you speak 酒后吐真言
Even when you are muted, your alcoholic-charged behavior reflect your true self; be mindful
Alone, loneliness and lone is a Natural part of our life journey
In life, remain purposeful; there is no need to share too much about yourself
The world loves a Winner ~ remain sober, content to count your blessings when you're down but never quit
The sweetest victory is when you return victorious after the world has forgotten about, & given up of, you
Being alone is NOT loneliness
