Human beings struggle with their deep insecurities and a lot of fear. On this base, they create need based relationships which they give titles to, like “friendship”. There is seldom any trust and faith. There is more judgement on how we can put our best foot forward to retain this quality of bonhomie. And fear that one wrong word or action can remove you from the relationship. If we cannot find comfort in an association, will it last? Perhaps only if we agree to keep paying a price with our own self. And that becomes painful after a point.
I think there is loneliness in
groups today because we cannot be our authentic selves and pretense and
compromise become very exhausting. So exhausting that sometimes, we ourselves want
to distance ourselves from joining group activity. The same goes for one to one
relationships. Nothing can endure without faith and trust. Can it? Can we re-establish
our base then, to faith and trust?
