Can solitude bring peace?

I am a bit confused what solitude can bring as this word has different meanings. When I return from office late in the evening I seek for a solitary place of my own where I can do things and relax in the way I want. After a hard day I dont want to go around and chat with people. I need my own time. It doesnt teaches me anything but at least helps me to relax. It helps me to focus on some areas where I need to work upon.

Solitude again refers to the empty place in life which we store for another person. I have seen people commenting "I am happy to be single". Yes in one way we can be happy as attachment leads to trouble but again do we really want to keep that empty for ever? If that would have been so we would not have stepped out and sought for another love. And again a life without friends is nothing. Definitely we wont like everyone but every individual has some contributions to our lives. We do not feel left out.

Again solitude means to be alone with nobody beside you or to be alone with everyone by your side.

Personally I feel it is better to find at least some time in solitude  in order to ficus where we are heading, in order to know whom to trust and whom not to, in order to know whether our actions have hurt somebody or not. In short entirely for some self realization. Apart from that life in solitude brings sadness,gloominess. Be yourself but be with everyone around you. It will help you to be a better person.

Does everything happens for a reason?

I was intrigued by one of the topics of Indispire #HappensforaReason . I am not sure whether it will be the next Indispire topic but I felt it to be interesting enough to write as my next topic.

When I was a child my father used to say "Whatever happens, happens for good". Being a child I always used to believe it. As I grew up I started question "Does it really happens for a reason?" Probably yes , probably No. There are many things which hurt us, break us and again by the rule of life we learn to overcome. The only consolation we give ourselves is that we have become more matured and experienced. But I always wonder does every bad incident had to happen in order to make us more strong?

After finishing college when I joined a job I found every single senior to be against me. So much so they were in search of one loop hole to penalize me. There were days when I used to cry at the washroom even in the bus while returning home. I had to show tremendous mental pressure everyday when I went to office and worked with those same people. But not everyone who joined with me suffered this. I am just citing an example. I am aware people around me have much bigger problems than I have. My point is just to say that there are always some unnecessary things happening in our lives which was not required. I started to speak less, became quiet so that I couldnt be bullied. I had to change myself in order to adjust. But again after so many years I have known how to fight for my right. If not mastering it , have at least  known the basics.

Long back in a movie whose name I dont remember I found a dialogue "Everything is destined to happen. Whether it is good or bad it will be decided after it actually happens"

Well this is what I believe now that everything is written in destiny. Not everything will happen for good. I have lost many good friends of mine with time. I never leave any of them, they left. I just had to accept.

May be that is why people say " It wont come again is what makes life so sweet"
