Alone and Feeling Lonley

Who in this world has not experienced the feelings of Loneliness?  There are those lone business trips on an airplane and the stay in a hotel where you know no one.  Single people go to parties and have parties at their own homes but at the end of the day they are alone.  Your spouse passes away after a 40 or 50 year marriage and you are feeling all alone.  Those are the three most obvious reasons that you are alone and feeling lonely.  I personally have known the feelings of loneliness and it can drive a person to madness.

Most of us take some kind of action to resolve the problem.  Some of us resolve the issue by taking the wrong action.  Thus, a gunman at Pa. at a health club who was bitter over women killed three and wounded nine.

I would like to condemn the availability of hand guns for this horrible event.  What if all hand guns were banned?  No one but police could have a hand gun.  The NRA and its supporters would not agree to such a law.  Their argument would be that criminals would still have those guns and the rest of us would be at their mercy.  However, if the guns are banned for everyone there would be no sales anywhere in the country. Wouldn’t that end hand guns?  Perhaps.  To me it seems that using a gun to solve a problem is an answer that too many people use.

The killer in Pennsylvania would have found another way to get even with those he hated.  Loneliness is the real killer.

  1. Hi Author

    100% agreement with what u have written. Loneliness is perhaps the biggest human problem of all times.

    It most probably stems from NOT reaching out to people. Not helping enough.

    Also i agree with your views on Gun laws. We, in India, are constantly amazed how a section of Americans “enjoy” having guns.

    For example u see, the GOP supporters….they call themselves “pro-life” but loves “guns”, loves “hunting” etc.

    Its strange.

    Cheers and a great blog by the way.
