"It's not good for a man to be alone," was reportedly said by God before taking a rib off Adam and turning it into Eve. however it is very possible that God actually meant, "it is not good for a man to be alone all the time." If being human entails constant cooperative activity, then why is it that there are very few things you can't do by yourself? Let me try to count activities you can't do alone: For a start, you can't procreate alone,unless you're some species of nematode. You can't ride a seesaw alone. You can't sing duet alone. You cant kiss alone. You can't have telephone conversation alone. That's about all, I guess. Let me know if you could think of something more. all the rest of human activity can be done without need of anyone else. This percolation about aloneness was sparkled by a statement made by a lady psychologist on a talk show whose theme was broken hearts and failed relationships. She was asked by the talkshow host what advice she could give to young people embarking on love relationships, and she said: " The important thing is that they learn first to find happiness alone. they should not look happiness in another; but rather when they find someone who can make them happy, that happiness would just be added to their original, inherent state of joy." Earlier she had said that if a relationship consisted of one party's dependence on the other, either physically, financially or emotionally, that relationship is bound to fail. To succeed as a human being the basic step is to nurture our awareness of self-worth. Find happiness in your own self first before looking for it in another. Regina Y. Dee, who heads the InnerPeace Foundation, Inc. and put out her book, In the Company of Miracles, believes that happiness, health, wealth and everything we need and search for is attainable, but the discovery begins right here, with us. " Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me," she loves to quote the famous song. Whatever our personal quest, be it love or peace, success or well-being, must start in ourselves. First we must learn to be alone, centered, balanced, aware of who we are and where we are. Her book also reminds us to bless everyone and everything that disturbs us and gives us trouble. Bless away everything that pains, disturbs, burdens you. I do it, and feel so much lighter, brighter and freer.
