Melancholy and loneliness are eternal
partners. The former tends to alienate you from others because no one wants an
extra share. Most of the people I know have that area within that they battle
with. But melancholy people cannot be jolly and laughing either. So, they stand
alone. From this situation arises a void, loneliness. Your heart may go out to
them but their company can be exhausting.
Such is the situation in families and
society today. That tolerance is unavailable. Any amount of mental illnesses is
available for the asking.
Circumstantially, if life
pushes you into isolation, options can still be found. Either you can get lost
in your feeling lonely and unwanted or you can concentrate on learning and
creating a new life. Melancholy and depression are hardly ways to live a
beautiful if tough life. Giving in and giving up need to be replaced by "I
can and I will".
