It looks like sitting in a spacious room all alone for hours together leads to a psychological disorder. No doubt, loneliness is globally accepted disadvantage for the healthy people and healthy society.
Those who suffer from this disorder also causes some suffer to the society through their meaningless thoughts and talks.
“Feelings of loneliness and isolation affect all types and ages of people, although some, like adolescents, are more likely to be impacted than others. The elderly are also at high risk. Research indicates that more than 20 percent of people over age 60 frequently feel intensely lonely.”
“Suffering from loneliness is somewhat like suffering from physical pain: In one study, brain scans of lonely individuals who received a dose of Tylenol showed reduced activity in pain-processing areas of the brain. In addition, loneliness can heighten the fight-or-flight response—the physiological reaction a person has when facing a threat.”
“Loneliness can be a chronic stress condition that ages the body and causes damage to overall well-being.” (https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/basics/loneliness)
This is what is seen mostly in people like Vemuri Radha Krishna (RK) of Andhra Jyothi and Cherukuri Ramoji Rao of Eenadu.
Ramoji Rao stays all alone, away from the people, he is, to some extent, connected to some people and thus relieved from this psychological disorder.
However, to RK, it is coming true and many researches done on this justify that this man is seriously ill and needs some health care.
The Wikipedia says that “Many people experience loneliness for the first time when they are left alone as infants. It is also a very common, though normally temporary, consequence of a breakup, divorce, or loss of any important long-term relationship. In these cases, it may stem both from the loss of a specific person and from the withdrawal from social circles caused by the event or the associated sadness.”
This suits well to RK, who feels the loss of his long-term relationship with the Government (headed by Chandrababu Naidu). Perhaps, this is also a kind of the feeling of “a breakup, divorce” as the Wikipedia says.
After the TDP’s humiliating defeat, RK is feeling isolated and uncomfortable.
“The isolation leads to loneliness; the loneliness leads to suicidal thoughts or actions.” This is what is seen his weekly-columns of “Kotha Paluku” (new word) in Andhra Jyothy or the “Weekend Comment” in ABN Andhra Jyothy.
