Giving up on people and retreating to a life of solitude will bring me peace and happiness.
Is it true?
No.
There’s no such thing as solitude. I am always there too. And I’m the one I’ve got a problem with. The problem is not in “people,” it’s in what I’m thinking and believing.
Clear that up and it doesn’t matter whether I’m alone or in the middle of a raging mob. Both will have an equal impact on my state of mind:
None.
