Are Singles really happy?

‘Jaane Kyon log pyar karte hai, Jaane kyon wo kisi pe marte hain’,
remember this famous song lines from the movie ‘Dil Chahta hai’, a song that was liked by both singles and couples alike. Reason- it
demonstrated emotions of both of them and still accepting both sides of it and in fact agreeing to it from the core of their heart. It actually expressed the split mentalities of the people who felt that they were happy being single than into a relationship and vice-versa.

Though singles give thousands of statements to support their statements like spending their entire salary on themselves or eventually popping up treats from their friends rather than caring about their girlfriends or spouse, yet at the core of their heart they have an urge of having someone special in their life. They want someone who would share their joys or sorrows or just an experience in may be bits and pieces but this feeling of sharing their day-to-day experiences is something that they crave for.

We as Indians have grown to live together, and bonding in relations is something that matters a lot in their life. This thing continues even when we grow up. Besides youngsters who move in big studies as of jobs or studies feel lonely after being away from home and this is the time they have a feeling of a loneliness thereby leading them on a way of finding that ‘special someone’. Do singles really rock then or they just flaunt that they rock? Can a person be really happy without being into relationship or they want someone to share their feelings. Personally, I believe whatever side of fence you are, grass always looks greener on the other side.

Yes undoubtedly singles are much more happy than married ones. They are free from any burden. They can do what ever they want. That's why youth are preferring to remain single.

It’s a mind game. One can stay alone and still be as happy and content as the one in a relationship. In the end everyone is alone...then why get yourself entangled into a realtionship unnecessarily...
Besides all in all away from all the tittle tattle it must be heaven...But then it looks as if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence...(Sigh)

Exploring still...

It’s inherent of the human psycholigcal makeup to seek affiliation. So first they look for gratifying relationships. If that is not satisfied, they learn to be content and ’happy’ with singlehood.

I totally agree with you Leena...but I feel that whether an individual accepts it or not, they want to give it a try atleast once. This makes them jealous of the either of the happy contender.

Shikha, I want to add one more dimension here. In India, singles normally mean those who are not married, staying single and leading a life of bachelor or spinster and singled out.

Here in the US there are single moms and dads who were earlier married, and later separated and living with the children. They claim they are able to be successful in leading a great professional life, bring up the children they way they want due to having no spousal encumbrances as they would with family life.

Irrespective of the cultural differences, the former one is self determined and the later one is driven due to nonconformity with the spouses — both longing for a relationship at times of need!

Happiness is inner state of one’s mind and it can’t be linked with one factor.So far staying single is concerned it depends on the circumstances of a particular person.Moreover getting married means sharing ur feelings,emotions and all with someone and also serving to the society and humanity at large.Responsibilities of different natures are always attached with an individual whether single or married.How one can escape that?

It reminds me of a story I read in childhood. There was this fox who had her tail sheared and she asked other foxes to do the same. Are Single women really happy and they want others too should remain single. Is there a any similarity between them and the fox who had her tail sheared?

Garg,

I haven’t talked about particular gender here. I believe that remaining single or not is solely a decision of an individual and it should be left on him/her. Nobody should actually interfere in it as it is one life a person gets and everyone should have the right to enjoy it to the fullest.

well, human is a social animal. if humans remain single and have kids and everything, then what si the difference between forest animal and humans. dude, single people are more unhappy than they are seen more happy on the surface. get a life partner and be happy buddy.

Are married/committed people really happy? Think about it. Is anybody really happy with their relationship status forever? Doesn’t every person, on either side of the fence, have their moments of doubt, misgiving, longing? I think there are good days and bad days, and whether single or committed, one is bound to experience both. Whether one is ’really’ happy or not is entirely subjective and transient, and I think it has little to do with being single or not.

I agree with you Blah and as Raj quoted above it has more to do with the inner state of one’s mind. Whether a person is single or married, have a boyfriend/girlfriend or not, there are stages in everyone’s life where they need a companion and vice-versa needs a little privacy in their relationship.
