In some countries, many more people are choosing to live alone nowadays than in the past. Do you think this is a positive or negative development.
There is rising trend in various nations, to independently spend their lives as compared to people in the past. Although advocates of this philosophy may claim its benefits as self-reliance and independence, I believe that it has a completely negative influence on one's health and financial status.
Solitary life can have a deleterious effect on one's physical and mental well being. First of all, in an event of physically illness or trauma to a single person, there will not be anyone to nurse him/her back to health resulting in delayed or difficult recovery. For example, an Orthopaedic patient with femur fracture needs an attendant throughout the day for mobilization and sanitary care. In addition to Physical Wellness, mental health is also known to deteriorate in solo individuals, as there is no one to share grief, joy and sorrow. These stifling emotional barriers can hamper reasonable thinking leading to depression. Thus, it can be safely said that being alone is unfavourable for oneself health.
Along with health, financial issues are often faced by lonely personalities. A group of people or a family living together can share the cost of living amongst each Other by collectively paying the bills which distributes the expenses. This leads to increment of personal savings. A single person has to pay for various commodities irrespective of the volume of use. In such situation, a sudden high expenditure such as health-related event, educational spending or accident loss of some property may tend to be catastrophic on bank balance sheets. Evidently so, independent living can be quite expensive also.
In conclusion, while there are perks of solitary Lifestyle like being able to do anything as you like, this essay attests that living alone has inverse consequences on mind, body and Bank savings, therefore, suggests that everyone should enjoy a Happy Family Life.
