"من يسعد بالعزلة إما وحش بري أو إله"
— Aristotle
Simplified Meaning:
When someone loves being alone, they are often seen as very different from most people. This is because most people need company to feel happy and connected. Those who prefer solitude either have very strong, almost animal-like independence, or they possess incredible wisdom and inner peace like that of a god. For example, a person who enjoys hiking alone in the mountains might find peace and joy in nature, relying on themselves for comfort rather than seeking others. In daily life, this idea can help people understand that loving solitude isn't necessarily strange or bad; it could mean they have a unique strength or understanding. So, if you enjoy time alone, it may show you have a special kind of inner power or contentment.
