There are distinct advantages to living alone. In the solitude, one is able to focus on what they are doing. The distractions you may have are few.
It is much easier for a single person to make decisions. A course of action can be chosen at a whim. Changing one's mind is easily done, as well.
Human beings require social interaction. So, you still need to spend time with family and friends. Being all by yourself can drive anyone crazy.
Some relationships work quite well. It is best when one individual complements the other. Without this symbiosis, people will tend to drift apart.
Existing alone only becomes a problem if you are lonely. People do the worst things to combat this state. It is better to be solitary than dependent.
Single people are required to provide for themselves. If they do not, they will be forced to do without. In order to survive, they must be responsible.
Solitude can be peaceful and aid us in our journey as we have time to reflect and meditate. But we should not become a hermit, friends and family do indeed provide us with joyous interactions and love.
ReplyDeleteProlonged isolation will drive anyone insane. Human beings can stand being alone for only so long. Then, we just fall apart.
DeleteYou can also end up stewing in your own self-righteousness while sing the solitude as a fall back position when you actually have to deal with others you don't agree with.
ReplyDeleteDo not expect others to agree with you. Deal with them as they are. Friendship is not about getting what you want, but about caring about those who are brought into your life.

Living alone is not for everyone. When someone needs us, we are often called to set aside our concerns for their sake. Sometimes the best way to help yourself is to focus on helping others.
