I guarantee you that if the singles are not crying (and I don’t happen to agree with you), their PARENTS surely are.
Hello everyone. I’m an older single. How old? Let’s just say my friends who are my age are grandparents. Do I cry? Sure I do. But it’s usually about something other than being single. I cry when I read about someone who R’L lost a child. I cry when I read about soldier being killed defending my country and my people. I cry when I read about people who are being persecuted simply for being Jewish.
Do my parents cry? I don’t know. Do people in the next world cry? I have a feeling they see things a lot more clearly than I do. They probably know why Hashem has presented me with this challenge. I’m sure if they could intervene, they would.
So here’s what I do about it: I daven. I tell people I’m looking for a shidduch. I go to work. I go to shiurim. I go grocery shopping. In general, I live my life.
Bottom line: Don’t tell me what I’m feeling. Don’t tell me I’m crying over my “plight.” Don’t tell me I’m sitting around with my life on hold while waiting for my bashert. I resent that. If you aren’t single, then you really don’t know, do you?
