Read an article on loneliness and discovered that everyone on earth is a lonely soul. Even those who have many friends are also lonely. As the chinese version goes, when the night comes and the rain is heavy, who can you talk to? who can you share you problems with? When you have a friend, make sure he is true and not after any benefit that you have for him. Such as money or fame or even for girls. I have seen quite alot of these people and truely they exist all around and they are not that difficult to find. Although you have many friends, but you might not know who is a real friend you can call when you need a listening ear. How do you know they really want to provide that listening ear? In the end you will end up being very lonely because you have shared all your time with everyone and no one knows more about you than the others. Although they call you close friend, but how close are you really? This is like economics, the central problem that is scarcity which equates to limited resources and unlimited wants. You have limited time to spare but there are many out there that wants your time. So is it that good to have many people who ask you out all the time? In the end you will end up no having any frineds because they will tell you this: "that time I ask you out you say not free, now I am not free". Needless to say for those who have no friends at all. Surely they are lonely. That is the meaning of lonely isn't it? Don't decieve yourselves by saying you are not lonely. Maybe not at this moment, but surely at some point of time that you will feel lonely. Be sensitive to those around you. Make sure you give them whatever a friend should deserve. Or else when you are lonely and you need someone, you might not find anyone.
