Did you know that younger adults are more likely than older adults to say they feel lonely? However older adults, like people of any age, say when loneliness is there, the feeling can be intense.
Growing older can mean dealing with many changes, including changes in health, lifestyle, roles, and support. It can mean moving away from a community and dealing with the death of spouse or friends. It can mean having fewer opportunities to develop new friendships with people, or not wanting to take the “gamble” of losing another friend.
Physical pain and loss of mobility can make it harder for some older adults to get out and enjoy activities like other people. For many women, when their spouse or partner dies, they may have much less income and fewer opportunities to get out. Not being able to drive, living in rural or remote area away from others, moving to a new town, and even the season can affect whether a person feels lonely.
. Feeling different, feeling depressed, or not speaking the same language can make connecting with others more difficult as people grow older.
There are other reasons for loneliness. Our society does not always make seniors feel good about themselves. The social stigma attached to the old need to be erased.
As Emma poignantly notes "I'd like to see a message that 'It's ok to be a senior'... an attitudinal change. I'd love to see an ad on the side of a bus 'We love our seniors'."

Anything you cause others to experience will come back to you, and multiplied. If you cause others to experience love, you will find more love in your life; if you cause others to have wealth, you will have more in your own life; if you cause others to succeed, you are guaranteed to succeed. This is the law of the universe, and it never fails. So, whatever you want to experience in your life, cause others to experience it first. This is the most powerful way to attain your own desires, and the easiest way to achieve happiness. Peter Shepherd
DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU EXPECT OTHERS TO DO UNTO YOU

Attaining mastery is extremely necessary and positive.
“You must see your attempt at attaining mastery as something extremely necessary and positive. The world is teeming with problems, many of them of our own creation. To solve them will require a tremendous amount of effort and creativity. Relying on genetics, technology, magic, or being nice and natural will not save us. We require the energy not only to address practical matters, but also to forge new institutions and orders that fit our changed circumstances. We must create our own world or we will die from inaction.” Robert Greene

Car owners find it difficult to park
Pedestrians find it difficult to walk
Cyclists find it difficult to ride
The roads are not sufficiently wide
Encroachments are there on either side
No one is there to regulate and guide
Everybody is causing a traffic block
It is time we act, instead of indulging in mere talk
