Do You Like Being Alone?

“Leave me alone” or “ I need some space” are some statements that are used in everyday life by everyone. Have you ever heard these statements or even said them? . I am sure that we all did. But why do people need this solitary time? . For me, I need some privacy from time to time, yet all of us need it. However, There are some advantages and disadvantages of being alone. 
Life is full of stressful situations, tense obligations, and bewilderment thoughts. As reaction to these problems, people tend to spend some time alone. They want to alter their mood and turned off their emotions by rethinking of all the annoying situations or even the happy confused one. This solitary time will give the person the power to adapt with new situations. It also, might help him/her in finding the right solution or it just make him/her feel more relaxed. So, in my situation if I ever felt overwhelmed, I would considerably be better after spending some time with myself.
On the other hand, too much of private time can lead to loneliness. Being lonely has different meaning than being alone. If the person feel lonely he /she might feel depressed. Thus, spending most of your time alone can lead to antisocial behaviors. Therefore, The person might get used to be alone in away that affects his/her attitude toward others.
In conclusion, being alone has positive and negative impact on the person’s lifestyle, which he/she should be aware of. Moreover, being alone doesn’t mean being lonely. It means that the person needs a space or time to think and relax. It’s a valuable time that everyone has the right to have it.  In addition to that, people should respect the need of this solitary time.

A Perfect World



    Everybody dream to have a perfect world, but does perfect world exist? And is there any "Utopian" world? . Nowadays war is everywhere. Peace is lost, food is not found, and education not provided for everyone. "Dystopia" is the perfect word for describing our life these days. However, Having a utopian life is having the ideal community that has secured, sated, and well-educated people. 

   First, having a peaceful society will help to enhance the feeling of being secured. As a result, people will grew up in a healthy environment. Researchers show that people who suffered from war in their country they tend to have more unhealthy conditions. In addition to that, they died much faster than the people who live in a safe environment. Ghobarah, H., Huth,P., & Russett, B. (2004). stated, that "war produce long-term damage to public health and medical system". In fact, these long- term affects them psychologically. These issues might not be healed easily. Also it will impact their perspective toward people and life. As the prominent philosopher Thomas More puts it, "There is nothing more inglorious than that glory that is gained by war".

   Another factor for a utopian society is food security. War might affect the amount of food that is provided for the society. Lack of food will affect people's health and that will lead to a illness, sickness. As a result, society will not develop because people will be unhealthy and powerless to do something.

   Nevertheless Education, which plays an important rule in all effective societies. It’s the key for successful generations. It promotes development in all areas of life situations. Education is one of the most essential rights for people. Each person deserves to learn and to use what he/she learns toward a better life.

  To sum up, there is nothing perfect in this life and that leads us to a conclusion with no perfect world. Moreover, peace, food, and education are three important elements for having a happy, secure, and ideal world.
