Look at those clothes of mine. Look at my home, my haven, my sanctuary. Millions of people are without shelter, and I have a place to return to at the end of each day - a place I call my own. I am blessed. How' you see it - is the truth of your life.
Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone.
Tillich One of my all-time greatest fears has always been being alone. When I was in school, I always had a large group of friends and in college, I lived in the dorm for four years so that there were always people around. But as I have grown older, I have learned the difference between loneliness and solitude. I have also learned that the difference between the two is mostly between our ears. We seek out people to spend time with, even people that we don't particularly care for.
