Life it's cruel and unfair, it's dark and sorrowful, and it is cunning and mean. It's an unkind game of injustice and prejudice. These are the views about living through the eyes and heart of a lonely person. Yes, everything is truly sad and desolate without friends. Being friendless is not a good way to live a meaningful and healthy life yet some people continue to isolate themselves from the company of camaraderie. Though I have always been appreciative of my friends, I cannot forget the time when they literally and figuratively made my life beautiful. I remember along time ago, during my college years when my boyfriend and I finally agreed to end our four- year relationship.

And to really help me move on, I decided to find a new place. When I finally moved out and moved into my new place, everything was a mess. The movers can only do so much, they just carried all my boxes and appliances in my new pad and left. With all my things and stuff lying everywhere and anywhere, I did not now where to start. For days, I just slept in the couch somewhere in the living room near the kitchen. I remember walking on tip toes because I cannot see the floor because of the clutter. I was a mess- inside and out.

When one of my friends came and saw me, he called for back up. One by one they arranged my stuff until I could see some pathways in my pad. In less than a day, my place was transformed into a haven- a place of refuge. That act of kindness and thoughtfulness made me feel that everything is going to be fine no matter what happens because there are people around me who care a lot. Being friendless means depriving yourself of sunlight, air and water. It's like torturing yourself by carrying the whole world on your shoulder. You cannot go through life without friends, that's a fact.

To be able to enjoy the gift of friendship avoid the reasons why some persons are alone and friendless. You will be alone and friendless if you see persons as commodities. If you see people as commodities they will see you as one too, so don't be surprise if they never see you as an object for their sincerity and compassion. If you believe that spending your time and effort with a person that cannot give you something back is futile then you are depriving yourself of something precious. But if you believe that there are no wasted acts of kindness then you are definitely a candidate for great and happy days ahead.

Another reason why some men and women continue being friendless is because they think they are superior to anybody else and that the world revolves around them. Nobody is above or beyond anybody and the world never revolves to one person, remember that. Learn by heart that the happiest people are the ones who humble themselves and relate themselves to their fellow men. Another reason why some people remain being friendless is because they deem that life is a stiff competition. Competition for what? There's nothing wrong in reaching the top of whatever but to achieve your goals in the expense of friendship then you are just fooling yourself.

Because not even money or fame can give you profound happiness and satisfaction the way friendship does.
