Quote of the Day --- "Solitude"

"Only the misfortune of exile can provide the in-depth understanding and the overview into the realities of the world."
--Stefan Zweig--

"The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till the other is ready, and it may be a long time before they get off."
--Henry David Thoreau--

Solitude is not necessarily a bad thing. We find ourselves in situations where we are alone, I believe, to better ourselves. Sometimes we need that time to ourselves to gather our thoughts and find meaning in our thoughts. Sometimes we need that time to ourselves to let go of the baggage and dead weight, whether it is people in our lives that are holding us back or situations that we have failed to deal with. Solitude is a positive necessity that should be embraced in order to make us better, stronger and more intelligent people.
