Detect The Limit

As our faces are different, so also are our characters, conducts and behaviors. We are all unique in various ways and that's really what makes life more interesting because variety is the beauty of life.

Some of us love noisy and public spaces, and we are always happy when we spend time with family and friends outside. But we equally have some set of people who enjoy their private time to the fullest, as they are more happy and free in their own space without any interruption from anybody.

Both the person who enjoys their private lives and the person who loves public spaces, there's nothing wrong with either of them. Some people were raised to enjoy their private lives, especially for those with strict and protective parents, while others grew up to probably a large family or friends, which influenced their behaviors.

We all have a right to privacy and for many of us that grew up in some sort of restrictions, our lives are even more private than normal. For someone like me, I grew up with alot of other students around the hostel, but we were all restricted from leaving the academy. I learned to enjoy my private times but at the same time I socialize alot when the need arises.

I do not see anything wrong about my friend or child privatizing their space or time because I know the benefits that comes with private times if done properly. Sometimes I enjoy my private times, as I would be lost in my thoughts and imaginations.

I don't joke with my private times, although I do not get it alot because of my job and family. whenever I seek out time to meditate, I get interrupted alot and it's usually frustrating. I believe my friend or child would feel the same way if I interupt or interfere in their privacy regularly.

If I see a person that's always private and do not come out to associate from occasionally, I would assume that person is having a good time and enjoying their privacy too, because I have been in that shoe before.

Sometimes we need those quiet moments to reflect back at life and to figure out the way forward from our current stage in life. No wonder the saying "the best decision of our lives are taken at those quiet times". However, there should be a limit to privacy because some people might be struggling with depression all in the name of privacy and we let them be until it's too late.

I heard a case of a student who was always living a private life in his rented apartment outside the school. He rarely socializes with other members of the lodge and he kept all his problems to himself. It got to a time where it was obvious that he wasn't having appetite for food. Everyone knew he had foodstuffs, as they even borrowed from him but they refused to ask him why he wasn't coming feeling like eating.

He later committed sucide by hanging himself in his room and that was when the people of the lodge knew that although in his privacy, he got to the stage of depression and took his own life. He had bet his school fees for football predictions where he lost all the money, and all along he was seeking ways to raise his school fees but to no avail.

This is to tell us that we are all have rights to privacy, but we should be very observant not to mistake depression for privacy. Once in a while it's alright to interrupt a privacy that is becoming to deep. Yeah, sometimes you might seem intrusive but you might be saving a life there.

I appreciate your time around here❤️:-)
