The difficulty of
loneliness affects all people at different times in their lives. For the majority of us,
loneliness, can come and go depending on the circumstances we happen to be going through at any given time, so it is not necessarily a "one time event or period of our lives." Due to this fact, we must learn about the lies and the truths about
loneliness.
Many people remember the song; "One" from the band called; "Three Dog Night" -
"One is the loneliest number that you will ever do"
It seems that right after breaking up with his girlfriend, the band leader wrote this song to describe his emotions.
Another line of the same song says;
"It's just no good anymore since she went away."
The song goes on and on about how that he feels his life is just so bad because he is now
lonely, without his baby. It seems that his life was all wrapped up on his relationship with his girlfriend, without his own identity. This leads us to the first lie listed below about the "Lies About Loneliness".
Does
this describe your personal feelings some days?
Talking
to the walls
A fascinating item came out of Germany, where
lonely singles are now putting up wallpaper with life-size fake friends
to relieve their solitude.
'Friends' can get plastered without trashing your home (Ananova)
"They can be pulled off and stuck back on as often as needed,"
reports Ananova.
Creator Susanne Schmidt says, "The friends we provide are not very
talkative, but they are guaranteed not to argue with you at Christmas,
promise to be there all the time and don't leave dirty dishes or argue
over the TV remote control."
Lies About Loneliness
1) - My life means something because I have a boyfriend or girlfriend, husband, wife and or children.
2) - That being alone, or feeling lonely is "forever and a day".
3) - A person alone without a "significant other", is of less value, or to be pitied by those who are "with" someone in their lives.
4) - Singleness or being alone is a curse, and you will never "feel" complete until you have another person in your life.
5) - Clock is ticking, you are running out of time to find the answer to your
loneliness.
Once again remembering the song; "One" from the band called; "Three Dog Night" , many seem to forget the words to the second sentence;
"Two can be as bad as one"
This leads us to the first truth listed below about the "Truths About Loneliness"
1) - My life does not mean more just because I have a boyfriend or girlfriend, husband, wife and or children.
2) - Being alone, or feeling lonely is not a feeling that remains forever. While it may come and go at different times and events in our lives, it is not permanent, the night gets over and the sun comes up for us.
3) - We are always valuable to JESUS, as a matter of fact, there is no other time in our lives when we have more freedom to go anywhere and do anything for our
LORD than when we are single, but never alone.
4) - Marriage and children are not "the answer", that makes everything all right in our lives.
More than 50% of marriages today end in divorce when people try to get rid of their
loneliness by marrying anyone they can. Unfortunately, they find that this was not the cure or the answer for personal
loneliness.
5) - Time is not the true issue, some of the most fulfilled people alive broke out of the "time" fear, drew close to the
LORD and waited for the HIS personal answer for them.
