I have observed a change in trend. Now, parents ask their children to start living separately after marriage. So the children grow up with a mind set of non acceptance of each other’s behavior and even parents have lived so much alone and separated from each other that even they are happy living alone. They have accepted the fact of living alone. Sometimes it is the life style difference and sometimes it’s the professional requirement. Even if the children have asked them to come and live with them, they hesitate and if the old parents can manage on their own, they prefer not to live together.
fair enough, it is leading to less fights and mental torture. But then what we are losing? We are becoming emotionally weak. We lose the tendency to love and accept each other. We lose the strength to support each other. So the result is, the mental illnesses diseases like depression, anxiety, fears and yes they lead to physical ailments like Blood Pressure, diabetes etc.
Love heals everything and when in the time of need we are there for each other and we feel that love and support, everyone and everything starts getting healed. However, if we are lonely or we are in habit of living alone, the in the time of stress there is no one to talk to and no one to support. The result is, we start losing mental strength.
So what do we have to do?
We need to connect with people. We need to live with people. We need to share each others tough times. We need to hold each others hands. We need to develop patience to listen to each other. WE need to learn to give love. We need to learn to accept love. We need to keep love above the physical comfort. Because love is the comfort for soul.
