I’ve been alone for 30 years. No love, no intimate contact, misery. A few months ago i I decided to let go of all the regret and told myself if I am Going to be alone forever, it’s time to accept whatever the fates have in store for me. I decided to relax and embrace whatever happens with calm and with a smirk. Yesterday I went to get my last paycheck from my old job and the girl I had a huge crush on for the past year came up to me and hugged me and asked it I would want to go do something with her. I can’t believe that it finally happened. When you embrace this life, all the good, and all the bad amazing things happen. Be brave, put love and light into the world. Let go of all resentments. That is when miracles happen and your life will radically change and all the suffering becomes worth more than diamonds.
Like everything else, solitude is a skill gained from experience. I was unhappy for a long time, but now I am loving every moment being best friends with myself. Very thankful for this process.
I absolutely love solitude. I almost never get bored and when I do I cure it quite easily by journeying within. There's always places to go in your own mind. I truly do feel sorry for people who can't enjoy their own company. Thanks for a good video.
8 Years + I've been alone. Disconnected, but connected when need. But mostly alone and giving little to NO power to distractions. I never regret the time well spent.
@@codingchacha3195We do that on our computers, atleast I am security researcher and most of my work doesn't require others intervention, I do go out sometimes like for meet ups with ppl I work online or when there's some talks or interesting thing, but most of the time I stay in Himalayas work as creatively as I want and just live
I think that solitude in long run will definitely make you insane on your own, it's better ti have some human touch to actually feel alive I suggest leave densely populated cites and move to somewhere with no crowd, hardworking and sweet ppl where you get more meaning of humanity than ever, just leave cities that's all I have to say
Disconnected but connected, I like that. I like being alone, and so, don't have an active large group of friends on hand. But I can get lots human contact through a typical day ; it might be a chat with my local barista, or listening to a sermon at my church, or seeing people at a regular yoga group... I am appreciative that I have a seemingly unquenchable curiosity, that makes me want to keep learning, studying and creating so theres no problem filling tthe time.
Thank you, I love being alone. I am never lonely. I read, I listen and think, meditate and rest. There is so much noise outside. There were few movements when I thought that my loving my own company is weird. Thank you for letting this thought go.
I understand completely! I feel this way too! I love meditating and doing breath work,and actually thinking my own thought streams, or loving my animals and reading too!
there are worse things than being alone but it often takes decades to realize this and most often when you do its too late and theres nothing worse than too late -Charles Bukowski
At 65 I have lived a solitary life, by choice. To survive life's betrayals and pains from relationships with those that do not heal themselves or baggage. I do not want to fill my conversations with gossip, talk about sports, and other human distractions that keep one from facing their inner self.
@@Jgp4xzdmqnmil One’s own ego is really what is important! Trying to fit in or help those lost in their selfishness is what makes someone die young from unnecessary stress! Do what you want but don’t think for a second that surrounding yourself with unhealthy egos will be a good idea! ❤
Then you are not alone, you have nature to keep you company. A far better friend than most people I have to admit. I’m recently single and I lost my three dogs who were my best friends along with her. It hurt me deeply. We were always hiking and camping and I loved the dogs like my children. Nature is where we all spent our time together. And now I’m afraid being in nature is going to hurt because I do t have them to share it with. I’ll soon find out because I’m going to welcome me to myself. I’m going to stay alone and focus on my inner peace and acknowledging my inner demons. I’m going to learn more about me. It’s very difficult right now but I’m excited to see what my new life with myself will be
It’s my path of inner peace!!! You know what aloneness means when you’re on a Mountain and you’re surrounded with only Nature, 10 years in Montana taught me how to thrive on being alone!!! I am a better person because of it!!! Take your trials and create success In anyway possible for personal growth!!!!
Inner peace is just another illusion. You happened by itself and nothing else matters. The only reason I suffer because once upon a time I felt peace was boring. It’s all absurd whether you are alone or not alone
As an introvert I enjoy my alone time, to reflect and to learn. I travel alone, I ride my motorcycle alone. Most people are superficial and misinformed. The Sigma Wolf 🐺
😂😂😂 grifter Peterson is basically Joe Rogans version of a brilliant philosopher! He's painfully obvious and driven by his conservative politics, his desire to make money and his desire to promote his Christian ideals! Once you see that you see his opinions are hollow and disingenuous. If you fall for his personality and solipsism you probably also share his exact religious, political and social beliefs.
There is a very big difference between being alone(intentional) & being lonely(unintentional). Two very different states of mind. Solitude is very necessary for self discovery & self transformation. Once you are fully transformed it is necessary to reintegrate back into society because human interaction becomes beautiful and less threatening once you become fully grounded and centred in who you are.
The problem is that the Press have enabled the mob, leaving no place for the excellent. Notice the word's etymology: we excel. We're called Tier One world-changers. Not out of arrogance, far from it, but because we have the breadth of vision to dare, and by daring, we win. Yes, that's the motto of the world's finest military, and they did ask me to join them: the offer was flawed, but in any case, I'm not primus inter pares, I showed them how to do it. It took a squadron to take the Iranian embassy down, reactively, I gave MI5 the heads-up on the Libyans by being on the ground observing proactively, before it kicked off. Then, working together, I won their admiration by delivery. After half the Cabinet saw me in action, they PM's advisor, Dominic Cummings, recruited more like me - and then the Press pack tore into one, destroying him. There is no point in trying to return.
I agree, however as deeply as I have been transformed by my years of solitude, I still am thrown off balance alot by being around other ppl. It's like they syphon the energy I soak up from solitude and they somehow drain me unconsciously from their own lack of solitude. I see it happen all the time. I feel it too.
I love being alone, and I NEVER feel lonely. Actually, technology makes being alone even more enjoyable to me. When I want to connect with people, it's just a click away. No, they don't have to be present or people I will ever meet or know.
Being alone in the woods for years with my dogs has helped me to listen to my fears wants and needs. Given me endless time to shed social stigma and embrace and appreciate my naked self. I can face life as a better human by being more patient, calm and in life. I can now be present and enjoy it. In solitude all of the transformation comes as silent sentients come around and bring unconscious together with conscious living.
Glad to see others agreeing that solitude is a powerful place. We are our true authentic selves when in solitude, and are more connected to our purpose than when we try to fit into every circle of association.
"I was a man who thrived on solitude; without it I was like another man without food or water. Each day without solitude weakened me. I took no pride in my solitude; but I was dependent on it. The darkness of the room was like sunlight to me." - Charles Bukowski
I've been doing shadow work lately and approached it thinking I was going to "fix something". I've learned it's more of an acceptance thing, if that makes sense. As it's all part of you. I thought my desire to be alone was a problem, but thanks to videos like these I'm learning its part of my process♡
Those who embrace and love solitude have no issue that has to be solved. We are enough by ourselves and that makes us emotionally invincible. I am sick of those therapists who brainwash you with the mantra that humans are hardwired for social connection and that relationships are the main source of happiness. That just means that, unlike us, they live in a state of lack.
I'm 100 years old and I'm alone all the time. Solitude has two advantages. the first is that you are alone. The second is that you are not with others.🥰🥰😊😊😇
I am alone a lot and I love it. I garden, feed the birds, love my dogs and my huge cat! I read and do whatever projects I feel, but I would love to hear some of your experiences in life! I have so much respect for your long life, and wish you good health and to enjoy every moment!
While sailing solo for years the Bible helped me a lot, especially when a bad weather front was approaching. Solitude helped me realize, that good weather, true friends and my family were⛵ my sailboat on this earth. Thank you for a journey down the memory lane.
Iam 37 been on my own since I was 22 I wouldn’t change it I find it incredibly peaceful feel at one with the universe there’s something in the nothing .
Solitude allows for the harmonization of mind ,body ,and spirit. It is only when one achieves this harmony that we can begin to truly live, and understand who we truly are, and finally find peace within.
I feel more alive when in solitude like I used to be, a long time ago. It's been almost 10 years now in this busy life. I can feel I am fading away each and every day. How I missed those days.
A very useful, even critical video for all those who understand the path to emotional development/growth/maturity. Solitude is not the anxiety of personal loneliness. It is the heat and pressure crucible for maturity; for the development of empathy and emotional resilience/hardiness, or anti-fragility. Well done and thank you!
If we allow ourselves to spend more time alone to learn ourselves, we become masters at noticing the feelings and sensations that arise in life circumstances. Honesty and respect to yourself is essential. Spend more time by yourself, practice what you want to do as that will give you answers.
I dare to propose an other view on solitude . I see it as an act of love towards others . When you are aware how annoing you are , instead to figth your nearest with your own recepe of hapyness , or even worse to give up your self in pleasing people ....go somewhere you find fullfillness in unhuman satisfactions , like nature or books . You can not hurt a book or a wood with your presence . Let everybody live theyr own lifes without an obligation to make you happy !
It hurts because one puts his happiness on others, on external sources. No relationship can fulfill you more than the relationship with yourself. If you are alone and unhappy and you feel lonely you are not in a good companionship (you are not good for yourself). Being alone is different from feeling lonely. You are always alone with yourself and you should nurture your relationship with yourself. You can feel lonely amongst hundreds of people but you will always have yourself. The best and fulfilling, satisfying relationship you can have is with yourself as this is a permanent relationship. All others are temporarily and will come to an end.
Maybe these people were not meant to be in your life anyways. The moment you find yourself, your authentic self if makes everything worthwhile. The community sometimes projects a lot of things on us that goes against who we are. Take for somebody who lost everything and everybody who has been lonely since I was born. Solitude will heal you and time comes when you will meet the right folks
DESIDERATA Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Some years back, I used to have a million dollar view from my bedroom window. Beautiful snowcapped mountains in the distance; in the foreground a river flowed thru a meadow that bloomed flowers in the spring and in the fall, the leaves would turn. It was unreal...like a painting. I used to look at it and think _It's nice_ ...but how much better it would have been shared with somebody.
Understanding solitude puts you in the position to navigate you're way through life without being around a crowd for superficial support, a system that out to serve the sickness in man.
The world is too loud now. I enjoy lots of things but it’s usually while alone. My growth has soared. I Don’t hate, gossip, tolerate, become dominated, become the burdened leader. Such Peace and joy.
Great video. I was in a beautiful marriage before my now ex wife left me, i still love her and most times i cant stop thinking about her, i am doing my very best to get rid of the thought of her, but i just cant, i love her so much, i don't know why i am bring this here for, i cant stop thinking about her.
I need solitude to heal, from talking with whomever I have to deal with in daily life. My cottage in a small Norwegian wood probably kept me sane, having lots of time to think while working alone to maintain a primitive but blissfull life✌️💚🖖
I've been physically alone for extended amounts of time. However, I've never been truly alone since the Holy Spirit entered my heart many decades ago. He is the Guide to life here on earth and is the teacher that enters our heart to direct our journey. His name is Truth.
How alone were these thinkers. They had their thoughts to keep them company and plenty of thought. Less intelligent less creative people would go insane with boredom and feel lonely.
I go weeks without seeing humans. However, it was when I was trying my best to be social that I was most miserable. I require no human companionship. There is so much to gain by isolating one's self. There is so little to gain by being social. In fact, you lose a lot by being social.
Few years ago I had read ( by J. P. Sartre?)”If you don’t like to be alone, you are in the bad company “. This very simple verse - gives my frequently “pinch” for mine lazy spirit. Ella
Man, this video touched on all of my philosophical favorites. Especially throeau, frankl, and Jesus. I love rereading Walden, Man's Search of Meaning, and the Holy Bible.
I could live alone even better if it rained every day storm's even. I also love the sun but the rain is my to go to weather. I do my best thinking walking in the rain ,i also do most of my talking, to myself while walking in the rain. I don't know why but I'm at peace when this weather happens which is getting less with clime change. ✌️☘️🌧️🌧️🌧️☁️⛈️🌨️💓
It's 6 am, maybe the best part of my day. I am alone in my solitude and at my most reflective. I might watch a philosophical TH-cam, or write in my journal. If I wake up and have to immediately engage with people, my whole day is slightly off.
I have been alone for so long that I would rather be home than anywhere else I’ve ever been. I often become claustrophobic around even the smallest groups of people. My guitar is my soul companion.
The first period I spent in true solitude was during a DXM trip. I wouldn't classify the initial fear of solitude as a phobia. It's a rational fear. Most modern people haven't really experienced a state of true solitude. Even when alone, the phone can ring, the closest computer can reach out, and a short walk and knock on a door can roll the dice that a stranger will be benevolent enough to render aid. True isolation in a modern Western society is only achieved chemically. A dissociative hole you climb into willingly, because you either know you are strong enough to climb out again, or want to train through the pain of isolation to grow strong enough to claw your way back into the world of people you knew.
Most people feel that to talk to others isn’t being alone but most of the time people repeat the same data to everyone and basically talking to themselves, not even sure others are really listening.
Most people I have met that are alone are wonderful and smart. I enjoy talking with them and asking them questions. And I usually become friends with them. And then we stay in touch and hang out together. Aint that something? True story.
Life is a solitary experience. You are born alone and die alone but we spend our whole lives running from this truth. You can't run from death, you can't run from your deepest darkest desires. Embrace them and understand that you control the monster inside and the gift of life is the ability to be alone. We need people and relationships, but the relationship you have with yourself will dictate your relationship with the world.
I "love" being alone. I attend social events on a regular bases, and I meet with people who share my interests and hobbies weekly. But, I need to live alone, eat alone, sleep alone and travel alone. I am a true introvert. I am genuinely a very happy person, a cockeyed optimist, some would say. The struggle is allowing special people in my life to share my special time alone. Even as the only child growing up on a farm, I have never been the bored or lonely type. 😊
I am 57 and i appreciate being alone . I am my own captain on a rocky sea . I have raised my kids and divorced twice . I depend on my ownself now for what makes me happy or calm .
Choosing solitude , while having family or loved ones waiting in the wings , yes , can be all things mentioned. However , when its not by choice , just lifes circumstances , it can be equally terrifying , sad , hopeless and dire , as equally streangthening ... there are no answers , only experience , life and karmic laws . There is no such thing as chance , only misunderstood laws of the all . We are in a program , by definition , enjoy every moment you can , before we leave this realm . Remember , you can only take memories of experiences , nothing else , be well , be love , be kind 🙏🏻
I dont have any issue with being alone, i rarely get to be home alone and when i am, im less alone than when im with people! Im an only child then a single mother and i think i learned how to defeat lonliness when i was very young. Being a loner i was always the odd one out, poor social skills, didnt know how to make friends and my mother discouraged me having friends over or going to their place. I went through a depression over it as a teen, but got over it all in my early 20s and now i can do both, be social but still prefer to be alone.. there are way more benifits being a social person
Hey there! Thanks a ton for sharing this insightful content on the art of solitude and the wisdom of famous philosophers. It's such a refreshing perspective in our constantly connected world. Learning from Nietzsche, Thoreau, Kierkegaard, Frankl, Pascal, Jung, and Peterson is like embarking on a profound journey inward. Truly grateful!

Have you been alone due to choice or circumstance?
To be ALONE isn't the same as being in solitude
More power to you.
Me too
Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony.
What if you only feel comfortable when your alone

I learned that lone time is self development time. It work

When I realized the loneliness of a crowded room I never again felt alone in solitude.

Nicely put and so accurate. A crowded room to me is a place of escaping from yourself. It's sad that most people do not embrace solitude
Like everything else, solitude is a skill gained from experience. I was unhappy for a long time, but now I am loving every moment being best friends with myself. Very thankful for this process.

That is true. Most of us loners still probably use a lot of social media, phone calls, or tv.
When you are at peace yourself, solitude is bliss.
Being alone in the woods for years with my dogs has helped me to listen to my fears wants and needs. Given me endless time to shed social stigma and embrace and appreciate my naked self. I can face life as a better human by being more patient, calm and in life. I can now be present and enjoy it.

Solitude allows for the harmonization of mind ,body ,and spirit. It is only when one achieves this harmony that we can begin to truly live, and understand who we truly are, and finally find peace within.
Yes! When you can be alone you can empathize even with your enemies
Really appreciate this channel because I can't understand why most people hate solitude peace quietness and meditation is my best friend 🙏
I feel more alive when in solitude like I used to be, a long time ago. It's been almost 10 years now in this busy life. I can feel I am fading away each and every day. How I missed those days.
Those who can not be alone, even for a short period, make me wonder.
Good video.
When you turn loneliness into solace it all makes sense.
❤
Some People really get annoying after a while so I am loving solitude more and more.

A very useful, even critical video for all those who understand the path to emotional development/growth/maturity. Solitude is not the anxiety of personal loneliness.
It is the heat and pressure crucible for maturity; for the development of empathy and emotional resilience/hardiness, or anti-fragility.
Well done and thank you!
When you let yourself experience lonlines/ solitude you know who you are and strong you are and there is nothing that's on your way that can't solve.

He’s celibate, he’s in solitude, he’s gaining strength through learning God’s ways, he’s a man that stand alone with God, oh my strong man..
If we allow ourselves to spend more time alone to learn ourselves, we become masters at noticing the feelings and sensations that arise in life circumstances. Honesty and respect to yourself is essential. Spend more time by yourself, practice what you want to do as that will give you answers.
It’s essential to recognize toxic relationships and walk away for your peace of mind. Thanks for sharing !
I dare to propose an other view on solitude . I see it as an act of love towards others . When you are aware how annoing you are , instead to figth your nearest with your own recepe of hapyness , or even worse to give up your self in pleasing people
....go somewhere you find fullfillness in unhuman satisfactions , like nature or books . You can not hurt a book or a wood with your presence . Let everybody live theyr own lifes without an obligation to make you happy !
But it hurts so much when you are left alone with no family or friends to reach out to, when it's not a choice. It kills you.
It hurts because one puts his happiness on others, on external sources. No relationship can fulfill you more than the relationship with yourself.
If you are alone and unhappy and you feel lonely you are not in a good companionship (you are not good for yourself). Being alone is different from feeling lonely. You are always alone with yourself and you should nurture your relationship with yourself. You can feel lonely amongst hundreds of people but you will always have yourself. The best and fulfilling, satisfying relationship you can have is with yourself as this is a permanent relationship. All others are temporarily and will come to an end.
It gets easier with age
Some people cannot be alone. It is innate, I think.
Maybe these people were not meant to be in your life anyways. The moment you find yourself, your authentic self if makes everything worthwhile. The community sometimes projects a lot of things on us that goes against who we are. Take for somebody who lost everything and everybody who has been lonely since I was born. Solitude will heal you and time comes when you will meet the right folks
DESIDERATA
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Solitude is a mental gym. Embrace it and don't be afraid of staying alone!
I love being alone and sometimes I feel lonely but not lonely enough to call my friends … I just love my peace to much
❤
Yes indeed... this is me... exactly me... wow... thank you for the encouragement... Amen Amen Amen to this... 🙏☝
I think some people have had no choice but to be alone and their inner strength and spirit has brought them through life amen 🌹🌺😊
I love being alone, thinking, thinking, thinking. Love it.
Now turn off social media and tv. You are not yet alone with us here. ...right. Yes
Some years back, I used to have a million dollar view from my bedroom window.
Beautiful snowcapped mountains in the distance; in the foreground a river flowed thru a meadow that bloomed flowers in the spring and in the fall, the leaves would turn.
It was unreal...like a painting.
I used to look at it and think _It's nice_ ...but how much better it would have been shared with somebody.
Understanding solitude puts you in the position to navigate you're way through life without being around a crowd for superficial support, a system that out to serve the sickness in man.
The world is too loud now. I enjoy lots of things but it’s usually while alone. My growth has soared. I Don’t hate, gossip, tolerate, become dominated, become the burdened leader. Such Peace and joy.
Great video. I was in a beautiful marriage before my now ex wife left me, i still love her and most times i cant stop thinking about her, i am doing my very best to get rid of the thought of her, but i just cant, i love her so much, i don't know why i am bring this here for, i cant stop thinking about her.
@jaypritchett3414 wow, how did you get a spiritual adviser, and how do i reach her?.
@jaypritchett3414 Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
Find a purpose broo
Maybe it's the fact that you're missing the situation instead of missing her.
Great. 200 likes for a bot reply. Followed by a bot interaction to promoto some skam.
Thank you “In Silence I meet with my Creator “
Reminds me of Christ’s journey into the desert for reflection and facing the ‘devil’.
I need solitude to heal, from talking with whomever I have to deal with in daily life. My cottage in a small Norwegian wood probably kept me sane, having lots of time to think while working alone to maintain a primitive but blissfull life✌️💚🖖
I think all people in Norway are lonely. They're afraid of each other. All shy and introvert.
I've been physically alone for extended amounts of time. However, I've never been truly alone since the Holy Spirit entered my heart many decades ago.
He is the Guide to life here on earth and is the teacher that enters our heart to direct our journey. His name is Truth.
I'm with you. I'm alone with God!
Amen, brother. 🙏
Amen
Why don’t you Worship the God Jesus worshipped
How alone were these thinkers. They had their thoughts to keep them company and plenty of thought. Less intelligent less creative people would go insane with boredom and feel lonely.
I go weeks without seeing humans. However, it was when I was trying my best to be social that I was most miserable. I require no human companionship. There is so much to gain by isolating one's self. There is so little to gain by being social. In fact, you lose a lot by being social.
Solitude is awesome.
It is. I can turn the most mundane activity, like a bus ride through town, or a visit to the park, into the rewarding experience .
Few years ago I had read ( by J. P. Sartre?)”If you don’t like to be alone, you are in the bad company “. This very simple verse - gives my frequently “pinch” for mine lazy spirit. Ella
Man, this video touched on all of my philosophical favorites. Especially throeau, frankl, and Jesus. I love rereading Walden, Man's Search of Meaning, and the Holy Bible.
❤
❤
Yes, The Holy Bible. With God, you are never alone, and in peace.
Remember: always try to balance, it never really hurts and gives you best position to ascend
I could live alone even better if it rained every day storm's even. I also love the sun but the rain is my to go to weather. I do my best thinking walking in the rain ,i also do most of my talking, to myself while walking in the rain. I don't know why but I'm at peace when this weather happens which is getting less with clime change. ✌️☘️🌧️🌧️🌧️☁️⛈️🌨️💓
Come and move to the U.k. plenty of rain here, never stops
@@carolynmurphy3697👊 I'm only across the pond in Dublin ☔☂️🌧️🌨️⛅🌤️
I still can't believe "not giving a flying fuck" brought me impeccable amount of Peace❤
Couldn’t have said it better myself❤❤❤
If you like your own company, being alone isn't scary. As an introvert, I thrive in solitude.
Same.👍
It's 6 am, maybe the best part of my day. I am alone in my solitude and at my most reflective. I might watch a philosophical TH-cam, or write in my journal. If I wake up and have to immediately engage with people, my whole day is slightly off.
I’m completely enlightened, and reassured. Thank you!!🙏🏼🧡
I have been alone for so long that I would rather be home than anywhere else I’ve ever been. I often become claustrophobic around even the smallest groups of people. My guitar is my soul companion.
I finally love myself enough to love myself alone!!!
The sun always comes up tomorrow. Entertain that faith.
The sun will explode one day
The first period I spent in true solitude was during a DXM trip.
I wouldn't classify the initial fear of solitude as a phobia. It's a rational fear. Most modern people haven't really experienced a state of true solitude. Even when alone, the phone can ring, the closest computer can reach out, and a short walk and knock on a door can roll the dice that a stranger will be benevolent enough to render aid.
True isolation in a modern Western society is only achieved chemically. A dissociative hole you climb into willingly, because you either know you are strong enough to climb out again, or want to train through the pain of isolation to grow strong enough to claw your way back into the world of people you knew.
Most people feel that to talk to others isn’t being alone but most of the time people repeat the same data to everyone and basically talking to themselves, not even sure others are really listening.
There’s nothing better than wisdom… Nothing can replace it…
Alone but never lonely!!! I am happy being alone.. it just feel soo good.
Very well done! I’ve been in this journey for 12 years now and I think I am ready to embrace the world and others and even a long term companion!
Solitude allows you to be a human being as opposed to a human doing.
Alone ness=
Al one ness
And also this one : Nowhere = Now Here
Solitude is power, self-care, financial freedom, owning self, and independence for me.
There's nothing to learn some people just don't have a choice but to be alone and you just deal with it it's no way to be alone
Most people I have met that are alone are wonderful and smart. I enjoy talking with them and asking them questions. And I usually become friends with them. And then we stay in touch and hang out together. Aint that something? True story.
Yes, it is, in-DEED YAHbsolutely YAHsome ❤
All things in moderation needs to be said here.
Alone,i don't feel lonely. God is Love and God is Alive. My puppy for my PTSD. Blessed
He’s in solitude as well, he’s learning and he’s being shaped for his calling.
I not only embrace, I respect and appreciate it.
Life is a solitary experience. You are born alone and die alone but we spend our whole lives running from this truth. You can't run from death, you can't run from your deepest darkest desires. Embrace them and understand that you control the monster inside and the gift of life is the ability to be alone. We need people and relationships, but the relationship you have with yourself will dictate your relationship with the world.
I "love" being alone. I attend social events on a regular bases, and I meet with people who share my interests and hobbies weekly. But, I need to live alone, eat alone, sleep alone and travel alone. I am a true introvert. I am genuinely a very happy person, a cockeyed optimist, some would say. The struggle is allowing special people in my life to share my special time alone. Even as the only child growing up on a farm, I have never been the bored or lonely type. 😊
I am 57 and i appreciate being alone . I am my own captain on a rocky sea .
I have raised my kids and divorced twice . I depend on my ownself now for what makes me happy or calm .
Being alone is not bad. I love my friends, but to be alone no problem. I like myself
I used my time incarcerated to self reflect. I was told to use the time as a gift. I journaled and discovered what I wanted in life
What most are seeking lies within them, but they’re afraid to be alone to face themselves…
They dodge their truth..
Choosing solitude , while having family or loved ones waiting in the wings , yes , can be all things mentioned. However , when its not by choice , just lifes circumstances , it can be equally terrifying , sad , hopeless and dire , as equally streangthening ... there are no answers , only experience , life and karmic laws . There is no such thing as chance , only misunderstood laws of the all . We are in a program , by definition , enjoy every moment you can , before we leave this realm . Remember , you can only take memories of experiences , nothing else , be well , be love , be kind 🙏🏻
It is a beautiful place ! Acknowledge others but maintain the inner peace.
I dont have any issue with being alone, i rarely get to be home alone and when i am, im less alone than when im with people! Im an only child then a single mother and i think i learned how to defeat lonliness when i was very young. Being a loner i was always the odd one out, poor social skills, didnt know how to make friends and my mother discouraged me having friends over or going to their place. I went through a depression over it as a teen, but got over it all in my early 20s and now i can do both, be social but still prefer to be alone.. there are way more benifits being a social person
This compilation of philosophers is great and the content is so insightful from another higher consciousness. Thank you very much
Hey there! Thanks a ton for sharing this insightful content on the art of solitude and the wisdom of famous philosophers. It's such a refreshing perspective in our constantly connected world. Learning from Nietzsche, Thoreau, Kierkegaard, Frankl, Pascal, Jung, and Peterson is like embarking on a profound journey inward. Truly grateful!
Our foundation will be clean and honest.
As long as we can think about art and science with solitude, we become magnificent creators.🎉😮
