We know that when we're lonely, wedo not need anyone to deliver the best sermon
or homily out just to keep quiet and sympathize
with us, allow us first to stop bleeding and
to to heal. Here are some first aids-what we
must do when lonely or to help others who
are lonely.
* Accept loneliness....There is always a time
to die, weep and mourn. All things will come
pass....
* Share loneliness with a willing and
concerned person who is not judgmental,
who will not blame us for being bad or foolish.
Prisoners and convicts can be the loneliest
persons in the world. When we visit penitentiaries
and rehab centers, we must not be sanctimonious
but compassionable, willing to help our lost and
fallen brothers to start new lives. By the way, it
is a great way to heal our pain when we ministerto others who are more miserable man ourselves.
* When times are good, we must take pleasure
in all that we do. We must be happy whenever
and whenever we can. For there is also a time
to dance, embrace, and rejoice. Let us enjoy
delicious meals and the finest wine, wear scents
and fragrances for such give joy to the heart,
nibble on dark chocolates for there are healthy-
dark chocolates are antioxidants, good for clear
vision, and as everybody knows, they give a
dopamine "high" that trill which is similar to falling
in love....
* Engage in productive activities, become busy
with creative tasks that we enjoy- painting,photography,
and sculpture. Leave our house and explore faraway
places, take a bus or get away as far in other places.Or simply get out of our house and exercise, or swim.....
* Transcend loneliness....Survive it. Life's
"configurations" change overnight. Tomorrow, we
wake up with a completely new perspective. We must
avoid making major decisions when lonely.....
* Do not fill emptiness with toxic elements such as
drugs, alcohol, and casual sex...
* Always keep a true friends, a confidence. Better
get maintain a group of trusted friends which can be
your local church's women's ministry or barangay
aerobics clubs.....
....we are lonely because we can never stop desiring, wanting, and needing...we are lonely because we want things that we often times not attainable.....
ReplyDelete...We are lonely because we need people who are not always available or who do not need us or want us or love us in return.. Yet we need people as companions, friends, helpers, lovers, and partners....our heart is too vast to be satisfied. We are wired to be great, to reach out for the stars...yet our physical nature is weak because we came from dust and to dust we shall return ...
