Solitude allows people to just sit back under a tree and contemplate.
In Lebanon, it is much harder to experience solitude. In fact, there is no word in Arabic for solitude. Solitude is not loneliness. Lebanon is so small and overdeveloped that there are few areas that escape man-made influences. Buildings, roads, power lines etc. are likely to be seen from nearly any part of the country.
