In my opinion the notion of lonsome isn't concrete but abstruct , and not absolute but relative .
Whether one feels lonely or not should depend on one'sphilosophy of life( thinking way of life), one's circumstance and character . Some people are suffering from solitude much more than we think . Others are coping with it without difficulty , even when unhappiness. ( for example , their parent's death ).
All I can say is that we could conqure loneliness in some extent by having what we put our heart and soul into , in another word , devote ourselves to . In such a case we feel consolated even could forget what make us melancholy .
As far as I'm concerned , once I feel lonely ( not so often ) when my daughter's returning after short stay in my house , gardning in the untold rewards for consolation .
How about you ? Is there anything to prevent loneliness ?
It would be grateful if you post your message .

Nobuko,
I dont think anybody wants to be lonely in life, we are all social beings - that is why family and community life is important.
Loneliness is a problem for old age, if you have good health then you can lead an interesting life within a community ; social activities etc but if you are ill nothing is worse by not having family or friends to care for you
Also for religious or spiritual people who may b strong and not need companionship in life because of their beliefs - I say why be "enlightened and lonely " - the joy is to relate and connect to someone otherwise it becomes a boring existance not to share and relate ideas etc - how can ideas grow and develop if it remains in one persons head only ???

Dear Arcadian,
Thanks for your reply. I agree with you . ( about "lonesome ") . It's certain that we never be able to live alone. (human-being is characterized by sociality ).With the help of others , including family or relative , we would be going well in our social life , as it were , relationship among people bases on society . So as you say nobody wants lonesome , which could be serious problem for those who suffer form disease,the old who can't help but depend on someone around them . In such a case they should feel lonely very much . In addition to it , for such a kind of person , to be unwanted is the worst .
The most important thing is to give them emotional (spiritual )support; kindheart, mercy .
Talking about religious person , I wonder if they feel lonely , if so , in what case ?
I hope another message from you .
Thanks
