Many of us have feelings of loneliness as we grow up. Some teenagers can’t stand eating alone in the dining hall, and girls even go to the restroom hand in hand. They fear being called a “loner”. In these cases, we might use the word “loner” in a disapproving (不赞成的) way.
However, it can actually have a good meaning as well. It all depends on our attitude toward being alone.
“It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re trying to master a new skill, practice a hobby or try out a new recipe,” wrote US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux. She used to be a terrible cook, but whenever loneliness hit her, she would buy a lot of ingredients and figure out how to make them into delicious dishes. After a few months, she became good at cooking. If you can make use of your solo (单独的) time, you’ll find that it won't trouble you.
“Honjok” Hit Korea |
“Honjok” has become a growing lifestyle in South Korea. The word comes from “hon” (alone) and “jok” (tribe 一族). These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy being by themselves. “I hope it grows into a self-supporting culture of happiness,” said Jang Jae Young, a South Korean who runs a website about this solo lifestyle called honjok.me. |
Loner Economy (经济) in Japan |
There are many solo karaoke bars and solo cafes in Japan. Ramen (拉面） restaurants for solo diners are especially popular. Boards separate each seat. Diners fill out a form to place an order, and then press a button to call the waiter. They don't see the faces of other customers or waiters. |
People are becoming more peaceful about being alone. This doesn’t mean we should totally shut ourselves from the outside world, of course. But it doesn’t hurt to have some “me time” once in a while.
The Loneliness
My heart has grown rich with the passing of years,
I have less need now than when I was young
To share myself with every comer
Or shape my thoughts into words
It is the same to me whether they come or go
As long as I have myself
Let them think I care, though I go alone;
If it lifts their pride, what is it to me
Who am self-complete as a flower or a stone.
