The Art of Being Alone

"All men's misfortunes spring from their hatred of being alone."
Jean de la Bruyere

If you think about it 95% or more of the problems that we have in life come from interaction with others. When was the last time you just sat alone and got into any trouble? Being human means that we are born with the desire to be around others and live with others. But I feel that if we suppress this urge and spend more time by ourselves than we can drastically reduce the problems and struggles we will have in our lives.
Timothy Ward



“A man can be himself only so long as he is alone.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
