This is a discussion topic for the December 2023 Book of the Month, "Fireproof Happiness: Extinguishing Anxiety & Igniting Hope" by Dr. Randy Ross


"Life is not meant to be lived alone." Do you agree with this statement as explained in Chapter six of this book?

I'm in a state of boredom and recession. Don't know what to do. Nothing excites me at this moment of my life. People and everything. I'm down and unhappy.

I believe in this statement wholeheartedly. Life has absolutely no meaning without someone to share your happiness, sadness, excitement, success, and failure with. Knowing there is at least one person in your life you can talk to about your fears and problems is bliss.

According to me, the relationships are the things that define us and our life. Without love, friendship or even enemies we are nothing. We leave our parts with everyone like the horcruxes of ourselves with every person we spend time with. So, ya ‘life is not meant to be lived alone’. It will be so boring without the connections that god has given us to live with.

If we choose the right person to be our side for our whole life together, of course life is not meant to be lived alone. But if we chose the wrong person, I think it´s better to live alone than in a toxic relationship.

I completely agree with this statement. At the end of the day, if we don't have that one person with whom we would like to share our happiness or experiences, then what's the point of living. Above all, we're social beings first.

Sure! I believe in this statement. The world is meant to be enjoyed with people and it is lonely when it is just you suffering, enjoying, cruising and doing lots of things.

I believe that you shouldn't be alone if you can help it. I also believe that you should not go around obsessing that you need to find a husband or wife. Sometimes, people are so focused on finding a mate that they are willing to take anyone that comes along. That leads to disaster.

Yes, life is more interesting when you can share its moments with other people. It is more fulfilling and you have more to be grateful for at the end of the day. Also, you get support from people when in need of it.

Only to an extent. I'm more comfortable being alone than being around people, but we all need those who matter to us. Everyone needs someone eventually.

In my view, life gains profound meaning through the shared moments of joy, sorrow, excitement, triumphs, and setbacks with others. Without these shared experiences, life might feel lacking in purpose and depth.

Selecting the right life partner enhances happiness, but being alone is preferable to enduring a toxic relationship that lacks quality.

I do agree with the statement because human beings are meant to be social beings. We need interaction with other people. Sometimes when you feel sad or down and you interact with people you feel better even if your problem has not been addressed. Being around people can boost your mood sometimes.

It is often said that if you want to go fast, you walk alone but if you want to go far, walk with people. Surrounding yourself with positive people who push you forward is a great stamina towards success.

Selecting the right life partner is crucial for a fulfilling journey together. Life is not meant to be solitary, and having the right person by our side is enriching. However, if we find ourselves with the wrong person, it might be preferable to live alone than endure the toxicity of a detrimental relationship.
