EMBRACING SOLITUDE🌻

 EMBRACING   SOLITUDE


The state of being alone,especially when someone finds this peaceful

and pleasant then it is called solitude!


In a world that’s constantly bustling with noise and activity solitude is considered as an escape, a precious sanctuary where one can find respite from the chaos. Solitude doesn’t really mean being alone.Rather it means to be connected with your very own self on a deeper level and discovering the beauty that lies within the silence. 

                                                                                                                                 

Why solitude is important for people even though we are created as social beings?

We humans are created as social beings. We go to our universities, schools, offices and get the opportunity of meeting a lot of new people and getting them included in our daily life activities and there we even make some friends for life time who promise to stand by our side through every thick and thin. But sometimes all the people we love cannot meet up to level of our expectations the way we want. Sometimes our family from where we get the utmost support ,our mothers who shelter us like no other, fail to support us when we need their support the most. Sometimes our friends also forget to be there for us, misunderstand us at times when we go through a phase of  life where we need them the most! But maturity is when someone realizes it’s really not the fault of them but everyone here on earth is in their own battle-field! Everyone here is fighting with their own insecurities, vulnerabilities, depression and viewing life from their very own perspectives. Just the way sometimes people befall our expectations from them , we also fail to meet up to the level of their expectations. The battle of life is a fight of an individual. To move forward one must make peace with their very own selves. We run, we fall and we get up to fight back on our own. In order to embrace our individuality we must learn to find contentment in being alone, dancing and vibing alone. That’s when heading towards the journey of solitude begins! 


How solitude helps people to meet with their very own emotional needs?

Solitude helps one by providing self reflection and introspection. One can do self examination and can think which qualities he should add and subtract from his character to be a well dignified person with integrity. By getting detached from external distractions and influences for a while people get to discover their true selves! Their latent talent , hidden passion and wants from life! Solitude can even foster creativity, as it allows for undisturbed thinking and exploration of one’s thoughts and emotions.



How solitude impacts to have contentment within our very own selves and build confidence with our individuality?

Sometimes to be included with a mass amount of people or to be in a group , people often forget their ethics and morals! Some people forget the boundaries they set for their affluent personality. They agree with what the others agree and disagree with what the others disagree. They can hardly imagine to go against the wave! And thus become people with no vision and become someone who is afraid to walk alone. By spending time in solitude people get to explore the hefty part of their personality who has his own visions, doesn’t feel the urge to go with the flow and doesn’t agree with everyone for having the fear of being left over! And when a person grabs all the introspections that solitude provides, he finds contentment within his very own self and find confidence with his very own individuality and no longer remains someone who is afraid to walk alone! Then a person gets the guts to free himself from all the man maid intercept rules that society created! 

   




Moreover the beauty of solitariness is found in solitude!


Difference between solitude and loneliness:

Solitude refers to a state of taking time for introspection and self discovery where on the other hand loneliness is a feeling of being alone and being disconnected from others involuntarily. Loneliness can lead to emotional distress and can even bring destruction to one’s mental stability. Solitude is stealing time from the world to give love to yourself  in order to bring the best version of yourself , on the other hand loneliness can make people question their worth  and  existence! In order to avoid it one should practice social skills and should give a try to turn this loneliness  into solitude to bring the best versions of them selves!


Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and 

                  Solitude expresses the glory of being alone

Conclusion:

From my perspective one should learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. Necessarily that shouldn’t mean that he should be lonely but it would be very unfortunate if he grow bored with himself as people who grow bored with themselves are in real danger !

Historical events that changed our world

Image
  Name: Asif Iqbal ID: 23301520 Section: M35 Introduction History is a topic that is familiar to most of us. It may be because we had to study it for hours on end for our exams in school, listened to stories from our grandparents about significant historical events during their lifetime, or were avid readers of history books. Many of my peers, including myself, did not like the way we were taught about history in our classrooms, it felt dull and boring, and the rote memorization of dates and names of people was painful, to say the least, or maybe we were too naive to comprehend the situations about which we were discussing. But in recent years, mainly during the pandemic, the topic of learning history became one of my favorite ways to spend my time and I could actually enjoy learning about this important without any stress of performing well in exams. In this blog, I’ll try to outline a few historical events of the past century that have shaped our global geopolitics, technology, a...

The Art of Philosophy 🌸

Image
Name: Farzana Rahman Prity ID: 23301614 The word “Philosophy” originated from the Greek word “Philosophia” – meaning the love of wisdom. As per the title, I consider it to be an art since it is an art of the literary expression of the realities and the mysteries of not only the world but also the universe perceived by the philosopher himself. Who is a philosopher?   Have you ever wondered who a philosopher is? Only those who are intelligent or possess an academic degree on the subject? Wrong. That’s the beauty of philosophy as everyone can be one at any point of their lives as long as they have the thirst for knowledge. They identify as philosophers the very moment they start to question; starting from existence to the cosmic level. They question everything and try to find answers in order to quench their thirsts. Writer Richard Schain wrote in his book, “A philosopher who has not experienced life in its many manifestations is like a composer who has never heard music.” My metamorp...
