Importance of a friend !

Life has its own games to play and these games bring no smile to our face; unfortunately they generate no fun. During times of agony, we crave for support more than any sort of guidance and in the absence of strong shoulders; the world of loneliness takes control over us.

Tears make their way out in the night and we helplessly curl our blankets over and weep silently. Have you had sleepless nights when no one could see your tears, no one could feel your pain and when no one could hear you shout because you forced your voice to silence?

Pages full of words signify nothing but helplessness of your emotions to me. It tells me that you do not have a person in your life who can listen to you and that person need not be your friend, relative or lover. Have you had more talks with yourself, God and with someone close to you who is now with God than you could have ever had with a person alive?

Some lives live this way for over a decade and it is then when words slip through pages and tears lose their way. Their silence ends and they shout for HELP and it is this time when they do not just need a person, but they need a friend.

Loneliness only makes you lose your self and the self after a point you can never get back to. Our innocence goes on a sale in the presence of impure souls and the things about yourself you were once proud of, you will repent losing it all.

It is this time that we curse loneliness because it forced our emotions to slip their ways.

It is then when we recall how badly we needed a shoulder to cry on, how desperately we needed someone to listen to us.

Right guidance in the right time and immense emotional support from a mature individual could have only saved us from the mistakes of loneliness.
