Solitude is a great teacher, but only if you pay attention to it! Solitude is a good way to pay close attention to your own life as a means of internal growth or personal examination. Learning to take advantage of solitude can be a very helpful tool on the path to self-development, but it is a tool that you must learn to use.

Solitude is a gift! But loneliness can easily put you on the path to self-destruction.

"They had eggs."
