You are not Alone

All you who sleep Tonight

All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above
Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears
Some for two nights or one
And some for all their years

-Vikram Seth

And when I read this heart touching masterpiece, it struck me,You are not alone!!
Very often we ask this question to ourselves, "why me?" More in the context of suffering than in our pleasures. "What did I do to deserve this? Why do bad things keep happening to me?" And all sorts of negative rhetorical questions.
And then I found the answer. You are not alone.

In this world of social media where the real social life has literally died, on scrolling through the social feeds, close contacts or people even remotely related seemed to have a picture perfect profile. What some of us mistaken at this point to understand is that their profile is not their life. For all those travel diaries at exotic destinations, seldom do we know how rough the path was or how tiresome the journey was. For all those mesmerizing smiling pictures, there is no reflection of the pain felt by that soul. For all those great achievements, little do we know the labor put into it. Nobody's life is perfect.
Always remember this- You are not alone. Either in your Blues or your Pinks.

The feeling of loneliness is a curse. Instead of hosting yourself a pity party at such times, it's better to get off social distractions and come back to real world. That's where you really belong. And if you still feel the same, read that poem again.

The whole world shares your tears.

That's because, You are not Alone. :)
