New contest: Alone or accompanied?
Greetings Scouts and their Friends
| Do you agree that it is better to be alone forever than to live in bad company? |

Sartre's play No Exit contains the famous quote "hell is other people."
Frayed said don't expect happiness from this world. One of the sources of sorrow for us is others. There's two ways to tackle it. Firstly if we can tolerate and don't react quickly to others. It gives us strength to cope with mixed and diverse types of people. There is no other quality better than to tolerate.
If you find the person is incorrigible to your tolerance, he should be given to understand that you can react and threaten him to get along with you.
The way we tolerate others, others do also tolerate us.
| Is solitude necessary in some circumstances? |
|---|
Even when around others, you feel you don't belong. Connections feel casual and superficial. Social situations feel stressful and exhausting and you often leave early.
I understand now loneliness isn't an enemy. It's a chance to explore and understand myself.
Loneliness isn't something to fear. What's truly frightening is ignoring your inner voice out of fear of being alone.
The time you spend with loneliness is an opportunity to know yourself better. Once you've learned to be at peace with yourself you'll no longer feel true loneliness
Instead you'll find your inner world full and content.
| If human beings are sociable by nature, is it unnatural to want to live all the time isolated from others? |
|---|
Why do we sometimes feel lonely even when we're surrounded by people. Loneliness is like a cloud in the sky even when there are many stars around it still drifts alone. Loneliness isn't always about lacking company it's often because your inner voice hasn't been heard of true companionship. Isn't just about physical presence but about a connection of souls.
| Comment on the following statement: "I was in the middle of a crowd and I was completely alone." |
|---|
Connection is like the roots of two trees intertwined beneath the surface hidden from sight but giving strength in quiet ways. It doesn't have to be obvious but it's there when you least expect it. To find that connection you must first open your heart and learn to understand yourself and be willing to understand others.
True connection isn't about being exactly the same but about respecting and accepting each other's differences but what if I open up and still can't find someone who understands me.
Understanding doesn't always come right away. Sometimes you need patience like the flowers that don't give up blooming just because winter is long.
That person may already be on their way they just haven't crossed paths with you yet. In the meantime the most important thing is that you learn to be at peace with yourself.
Before I conclude I would like to invite three fellow Steemians to participate in the contest
