La soledad

Abstract

A wellcome loneliness invites to relax from everything, when it is not wellcome, it provokes anxiety in the human being. Society considers the old age as an improductive time and says we are old when we retire. But it is from the day of retirement when there appears spare time, which should not become a trauma, ilimited tediousness with fatal consequences. Isolation is no solution. Time takes away the strongness of character, pacience appears, tenderness, and we cannot transmit them to our children and grandchildren. In spite of the desire to live "at home", where the whole life has passed, there can arise negative feelings about the "empty nest": the children have left home, the partner's death, this is when the most absolute loneliness overcomes and it is necessary to look for stimulating relations and tenderness. We have to find this delicate plant which is happiness and take care of it with goodness and good actions. Loneliness must be combatted by enabling a life in community.
