#236 To be alone is not the same as to be lonely

2 min Read |  23 Oct 2023 

🌱 In the ever-changing dynamics of our lives, we find ourselves transitioning from traditional family structures to a more individualistic society. In this journey, the question emerges: Who will be there to offer care and companionship in our later years if one remains single? 🤔

🏡 While our families remain dear, the truth is that our support networks are expanding beyond bloodlines. Communities are sprouting where we never expected. These communities, often formed by like-minded individuals, with common values and purpose, provide solace and security as we age. 🤗

💑 The institution of marriage doesn't guarantee caregivers, and many of us have witnessed our elders living in solitude. Yet, we are adapting to these changes by nurturing new forms of togetherness. ❤️

🤝 As we tread down the path of individualism, we must be vigilant in fostering connections with friends and fellow seekers who can lend a hand when we need it. That's the trade-off of choosing freedom, low security. High security and conformity, low freedom to be. 🌈
