Loneliness is not a gap in life, but rather a fertile ground for the soul's growth. Those past experiences that were once brilliantly vivid often accompany a silence as still as snow. Don't be afraid; loneliness is not a punishment, but the deepest echo of life. You can either be lonely or be mediocre; wise people strive to escape pain and troubles, pursue tranquility and leisure, and lead a life undisturbed by others. The more one is eager to interact with others, the more mediocre their intellect becomes; the essence of boredom lies in inner emptiness. Life is a bundle of desires; unfulfilled desires lead to suffering, while fulfillment leads to boredom. Life swings like a pendulum between pain and boredom. Low-quality socializing is worse than high-quality solitude; only by choosing to be alone and conversing with oneself can one find inner peace. Happiness comes from moderation: all limitations and restrictions contribute to enhancing our happiness. The larger our circle of vision, activities, and contacts, the more anxiety or worries we feel.
