quiet

I have often lamented that we cannot close our ears with as much ease as we can our eyes.
~Richard Steele

There is peace in silence ... and there is also anxiety, depression and insanity.

A little overboard? A little extreme? Perhaps.
Let me know that I was wrong when you return from isolation ...

If you are alone long enough to enjoy your own company more than others, congratulations. You've experienced meditation. If you are alone long enough to miss others, congratulations. You've experienced humanity. If you are alone long enough, to know yourself, congratulations. You've found meaning in life. If you are alone long enough to not need to be alone anymore, congratulations. You've conquered introversion. If you've been alone long enough to create a philosophy, congratulations. You can think. If you don't ever want to be alone, congratulations. You have more to learn.

There is a cure to loneliness. Step inside yourself and find it.
