人与自我——积极向上的生活
Do you sometimes feel lonely? Maybe yes. These days scientists do a survey(调查)about “being alone” among people aged from 3 to 60. It shows that teenagers have great needs to feel like they belong to a group. Even having to eat alone in the dining hall is enough to make them feel upset. They are afraid of being called a “loner”. But being a loner doesn’t always mean being strange. It has become a lifestyle in many countries among young people as an everyday part of life.
In South Korea, a number of people call themselves “honjok”. These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy being by themselves. In Japan, people have developed(发展)a strong loner culture over the years. For example, there are restaurants for solo diners with a board(板)to keep apart(分离)from each other.
So when you are alone next time, you may want to try to have fun alone. You can start by walking in a park or visiting a museum alone. It may seem strange and boring at first. But give it time. You may finally find the beauty of being alone.
