Deafening Conversations

I am no longer able to participate in aimless conversations. They are deafening to me. Silence gives me the lessons of life that I seek, not sound. Of course it is not the same for all, some depend on music and some on friends, some on spouses and some on the goals they wish to achieve, but I depend on silence.
I spent the last 24 hours in silence and loneliness. In itself it is almost a form of meditation. Thoughts and emotions pass me, yet I learnt about myself, my strengths and weaknesses. Is it that important, you may ask? Yes it is to me. I believe in self indulgence to check myself. I should not be a mystery to me. I must know myself if I ever want someone else to know me. I must understand myself to recognize the other person outside me. I go through the entire spectra of life and my participation in it. I analysis my response to my surroundings, and being a woman, I tend to have higher emotional sensitivity as compared to a man. I analyze this too.

    I find most people are afraid to be lonely, almost as if they are afraid of themselves!

    I like the idea... but I prefer the word solitude. Loneliness somehow conveys to me something we find ourselves in not something we choose. I agree with you that solitude is a need, if only we all indulged in it a little more, I am sure we would have a less tumultous world.
