Loneliness in a relationship

This is happening in recent times that we are close to our near & dear ones In the sense that we are virtually sitting next to the person with whom we have an extremely close relations but in fact we aren’t connected mentally so it is only physical presence without any connections of hearts.

Why this loneliness occurs !

Why does this happen that at some distant or may be early point of the relationship there’s disconnect of bonding? This is not good for any relations and needs an urgent intervention In order to correct the direction of relationship making it more dependent on each other rather than allowing independence of the partners.

Loneliness isn’t new

It is not that loneliness is something new to have occurred in relationships of different kind, Rather it has existed since human beings initially evolved into a civilized social form.

Increased mobility due to coming of technology is behind loneliness

The main source of loneliness is increased availability of option to communicate with much wider network of connections through alternate digital channels like social networking apps, mobile phones, virtual meeting rooms etc. Due to easy access to hi-tech technology and therefore ignoring those sitting next to us in reality as we find ourselves busier connected virtually with others at the cost of our own people.

We live in virtual reality instead of real

Yes we are all living in a illusionary world that has moved far away from real existence amongst our own people who could have really extended a helping hand and care that no technology can ever replicate.

It is high time we must seriously look back to our real connections around us instead of virtual

It is high time for each one of us to have a serious self-introspection and take corrective measures to stop neglecting our real relations that surround us 24 hours instead of living with illusionary virtual connects.

In the end is only the real relations that matter

In our journey of life no matters how much technically sound we may become and try our best to ignore the traditional concepts of life which give e meaning to our real world existence. In the closing chapter of our life we come to finally realize and conclude that it’s not the virtual world that makes our day rather when we really need someone to hold our hands in moments of distress it’s only the real world people that exits not much far away from us and only next door that come to help us overcome our life challenges.
