Bliss of solitude
Solitude is one of the greatest blessings. What is solitude? A person who is spending time alone is not necessarily lonely, anti-social or isolated. Solitary people are great artists, writers, scientists, mostly gifted and talented. It is all right to say hello to people but we cannot be friends with everyone. A person can only have a few good friends who are pleasant and trustworthy. It takes a long time to build trust. If we know too many people, we become overly extroverted, it can cause more problems than we can imagine. Because we cannot spend time with too many people. A person who claims to know a lot of people and seeks popularity is not as happy as one who spends more time in solitude. Such people are not actually free. They are insecure and they want popularity and they "want to be" or are "wannabes" who forget that originality and creativity are the best qualities that a person can have. Relatives and too many people waste a lot of time, enemies increase, wolves come in sheep's clothing. It is alright to share ideas or hobbies with one or two friends. I also agree with Neeman Sobhan "I love solitude. Being alone never bothers me. Solitude is not isolation or unhappiness." I can be Neil Diamond's Solitary Man, Wordsworth's Solitary Reaper, a heroic figure in Tolkien or Odysseus, St. Augustine, or the imitation of Christ, a writer or I can understand Gabrielle G. Marquez's measurement of time when he talks about One Hundred Years of Solitude. In solitude, a person can discover the deepest mysteries, spirituality, nature, God, and hundreds of ideas.
In solitude, our thoughts are flowing and we can create wonderful books, works of art, magnificent gardens, inventions, and many other things as vast as the night sky covered with the sparkling jewels of stars.
