At the time of creation of the Universe, Shakthi ie Energy was separated from Shiv to create and sustain everything in the universe. Shiv voluntarily gave up a part of himself for creation of everything. So in order that the universe runs smoothly Shiv has to sacrifice the most beloved part of himself
That's also why he is the destroyer of everything. All he has to do is take back his Shakthi from something, and that particular thing is destroyed
It is this separation that makes him a Loner, a sanyasi. Much against his personal wish, he has to make this sacrifice, this is what makes him sad (sad is an understatement)
Trying to understand his sorrow is so unimaginable to common people that nobody knows his real nature. In fact most of the people don't even know when he was born, who his parents are, where he lived.
Shiv Puran details his feelings of this loss and his uninterest in the affairs of this world. He is a Smashaan vaasi for the same reason. And thus represents ultimate reality of life ie Death.
All these facts are neither for Samsaaris ie social family people nor for the faint hearted. Sometimes Truth is Harsher than we can imagine, and few can accept truth as it is. People resort to lying because it is comfortable and convenient.
