請依下文回答第 36 題至第 40 題 Is it true that loneliness causes more misery in the world than any other spiritual condition in life? Generally
speaking, it is. Loneliness is a negative emotion that almost everyone suffers from now and then. This solitary
feeling may even torture one's soul moment to moment throughout lifetime. Contrary to general belief, loneliness
does not necessarily result from the state of being alone. To get over loneliness, it is essential to realize the source
of this emotion.
Loneliness must be examined honestly and completely before it can be handled since it is actually a
deep-rooted personality habit. To begin with, personal beliefs and memories that support the feeling of loneliness
must be discovered and understood. Then, the habitually lonely feeling has to be replaced with more constructive
emotions.
You must understand that feeling lonely now and then is not abnormal, and neither is it your fault. Life is
sometimes a lonely process, which can somehow provide the energy and motion needed for personal growth and
spiritual understanding. In other words, loneliness is a challenge, not a problem. It becomes a problem only when
you view yourself as its victim and consider yourself incompetent to find any solution.
Loneliness serves as a signal to get your attention so that you can start to deal with your inner state of being.
In fact, loneliness can be your very best friend. You may even need to be thankful that it exists for it stimulates
you to develop relationships with other people and pushes you out into the world to look for ways of meeting your
interpersonal needs.
