Reflection: Single Blessedness: A life of Love and Charity

Life is a matter of choice. Every one of us has the privilege to prefer what we think is right and would be just for ourselves. Some may be happy having a “someone” to be with and some actually aspires to live their lives alone or more or less, the term is being “single.” To be single is not literally to back-out out on people around you but rather, the status of oneself proclaiming that he can handle his self proudly without the help of a mate.

To live life for single people is to serve a) own self: prioritizing their needs and their wants and b) God: giving themselves selflessly to be the image and likeness of Christ. Triggering factors may include past experiences: aches and perhaps joys of life. One way or the other, the status of being single explains character of self expression.

It is hard not having a family of your “own.” The fear of being left out sooner or later is a reality that single people can’t escape. Who will be taking care of me in the future? Whom I can tell my worries? And so on and so forth. This thinking and self sorting may come up to their senses but, still, they stand with what they deem: to be single.

Predicaments of being single may include judgment from the other. Some raises brows on individuals who choose this way but more so, who are we to judge their being? It is their ground for their life, and what we need is to respect and be supportive of it. If God had allowed them to be like that, who in the world are you to commend on their status?
