How many times has a man faced up to loneliness in his whole life? Perhaps, there is nobody can answer this question and certainly, there is nobody can avoid from loneliness as well.

I think most people might agree with me that nobody want to be lonely; like The Blue Magic said in their song called "Just Don't Want to be Lonely"

"I don't mind when the tides set the sun to the moon, I just don't want to be lonely"

In my opinion, loneliness is the need of some love to fill the life up with warmth, understanding and sympathy. Loneliness is such a delicate feeling that it's hard to describe in words. The role of loneliness to human being is not just a trivial thing. It can hurt you and break your heart in pieces.

There are many causes of loneliness such as losing or being apart from someone that you love, living alone without caring from others, etc. Sometimes, loneliness comes to your live even though you are surrounded by many people. This feeling occurrs when you can't adapt yourself to live in a modern society that is full of rivalry and selfishness or when you think that nobody really understands you.

At present, there many people trying to pretend to be lonely in order to request some love from others, however the real loneliness is a severe suffering. The real loneliness is the role that we can't play and it can't see from an external appearance. Perhaps, a man who seems to be the happiest man may be one of the loneliest. Loneliness inspired the artists to create many of gorgeous works such as paintings, poetry, songs, etc; on the other hand, there are many people dying of loneliness as well.

The more people in the society believe in materialism, the more we are estranged from love and warmth. Because our duties have stolen our family times and people value money so much that they never share their love and generosity to each other. Some parents work so hard that they don't have time to take care of their children because they think that making money for their children is the most important thing, but they never know what their children really want. It's not money but love and care. Some women sold their love in order to buy comfortable lives and then they found out that they can sacrifice everything they have in exchange for ordinary love. These examples show us that the lack of love and warmth leads to loneliness.

If you feel lonely and you don't know how to get rid of it, this may not be the best answer for everyone who is immersed in loneliness; however, Don Henley and Glen Frey offered the way to relieve the pain from loneliness. It's called 'Desperado'.

"Desperado, why don't you come to you senses?
Come down from your fences open the gate.
It's may be raining, but there's a rainbow above you.
You'd better let somebody to love you before it's too late."

Loneliness is not an unbeatable enemy as long as we know how to love, allow others to love you and open your mind to love others. The song of loneliness will be just a common song.
