Solitude and loneliness are interesting bedfellows. One full of wonder, learning and deep study; the other dangerous and damaging.
Solitude has many positive associations – it is healthy, mind-expanding and brings about a greater sense of self-awareness. It is the state of being alone without being alone. It leads to a deeper awareness of your intimate self, as well as of the wider world around you. It’s a wonderous state, full of exploration and discovery. Solitude is essential for deep learning, reading, and being at one with nature.
