What Is the Finest of All Luxuries?

Solitude helps one stand out, rather than alienate him from the crowd. It's helped many succeed by making them different.

In the turbulence that is life, everyone has experienced the pain of loneliness. Some have lamented that loneliness grows with age. We therefore feel the urge to fill every little moment of our life with something. We seek out one exciement after another. We yearn for the satisfaction of being needed at all the wining and dining. But mostly, alone is how one has to live his or her life. 

Being by oneself demands that one exercise restraint, refrain from overindulgence, and resist external temptation by holding onto one's true self.

Here's something that will always make you stand out in a crowd. Do you dread loneliness? As is said in Your Seclusion in Defeat Does You Credit, I once believed that solitude is to have nobody but oneself in the world. Now I am convinced that solitude is how one can create a world all by oneself.  Yes, indeed! On our own, that's how we all live.
