Solitude
The world is a dark and selfish place, Society creates unrealistic demands on us and these drive us to become pro-solitude.Society tells us who we are and how we should live, but solitude shows us who we are and who we want to be. We like being alone but not lonely, we can think for ourselves and be ourselves without being judged on our race, religion or education.
Ellen Burstyn said “What a lovely surprise to discover how unlonely being alone can be”
I think the vast majority of people here on CS and the blogs are pro-solitude but never lonely here.
What do you think?

Humans are not naturally solitary creatures, they are social beings.
People are living more solitary lives now, often due to social media. They do not interact with real human beings as much as they do to shadowy people across the globe.
I think this is ultimately destructive for both the individual and society as a whole.
The world is not that dark and selfish - each person can make it brighter and less selfish.
A smile to a stranger a day will help both you and the stranger.
Yes Humans are by design social, The point I am trying to make is that society is broken, the society that makes us smile and interact with each other is breaking down, causes?...Political, Economic and probably the overuse and reliance on social media, why interact in person when you can just send messages or tell the world what you ate last night via Facebook.
I choose not to be broken, therefore society isn't broken.
PS. We know it is not you who have the little brain
But after a while the subject of tractors and olives gets boring and I cant wait to go home to my safe place of solitude and interact via cyberspace.
I have stopped smiling at strangers coz they always end up following me home
Hello Pat
And happy it is less and less often.
It is less than feelings that big, real,
It is more than those that are false and cut.
Only stray dogs follow me home!
That's because they can sense that you're a dog lover !!
Maybe I should carry man-treats in my pocket instead of dog-treats
Map,
Its a way to let the noise settle
And see what is inside
Fly, Its the only way to remove the noise!
Still, I think it depends on the people you surround yourself with. It is a very selfish world we live in but find the beautiful people and socialising is wonderful
it is a sad thing to see when that happen..........................
It is the Irish have many words for rain
We are the experts in rain
But then, we don't have wild pigs or snakes here
