Social Solitude by Larry John
Why is it that the older we get the more we want to be alone and the more we are alone the more we want to be with people only to want to be left alone because being with people just ain’t any fun any more … but being alone is sometimes worse? We always want to be with people until we are and then we hate it because being with people takes away our solitude and peace and quiet. I know this sounds a little negative, cynical and even jaded, but I find that, for the most part, people like to be alone…until they are. It seems that being alone too much gets old real fast and then people want to be with others - until they are and then, real fast, they want to be left alone. To be “with” or not to be “with”…that is the question. Think about it.
