For
many it is a word that is synonymous with loneliness. It was considered to be
meant for people who we term social retards, or someone whom people think
should be kept out for the sake their own convenience.
What
is forgotten here is that the state of solitude is something that is the choice
of the individual. Reveling in solitude is an art not achieved by many. Hell
even mentioning the slight preference is frowned upon.
May
be solitude is too strong a word for many, may be a little time for yourself,
just for you without any disturbance – the word you are familiar with this
would be Privacy, is something everyone yearns in this “will stop for none”
world. So why one who makes it a way of life is taken in a pejorative sense
always baffle me.
Loneliness
is something which is imposed upon, solitude is a choice, a way of life.
It
is for the wise, for the chaos of everyday routine, a remedy rather than
punitive, an escape to the world you created than the one that was created for
you, a place to restore the peace of mind lost amidst the demands and to
discover the contentment though ephemeral yet pure at that moment.
