The Power Of Solitude
The idea of being alone often frightens people. And I agree that being alone forever isn't necessarily a desirable position to be in. However, being separated from the herd for a while to spend time by yourself can benefit us immensely. Let’s explore the power of solitude.
Human beings are social creatures. Nevertheless, there were many human beings throughout the ages that chose to live a solitary life.
Anthony The Great was one of the Desert Fathers; Christian monks who withdrew from society to live in the deserts of Egypt and follow God. Despite their seclusion, the Desert Fathers were highly influential on the development of Christianity.
Since ancient times, Buddhist monks spend time alone - sometimes many months - to deepen their meditation practice and, simply, because they know that happiness comes from within and does not require the presence of other people.
