RE: Solitude, NOT lonliness - A boon NOT a bane….Please share your experiences/views Steemians
Indeed, loneliness i s different from solitude. For those who have put truth about reality at the forefront of life it can cause those who care less for truth to not not like being told about things they don't want to hear about the world. People want to be in their cocoon of belief and positivity. As one walks on the path towards truth, others don't and people go different ways. Seeking truth often leads to solitude, but the care and joy or truth is the companion that can get one through the isolation.
I agree krnel. However, bearing solitude for prolonged periods, with only the strength of seeking truth as companion, takes a real strength of character that many of us do not have, to the necessary extent. The solitude, thus, turns into loneliness again. This is a topic where one has to constantly test ones own character and strength. Thank you for your response and for adding to the wealth of discussion here.
