I was in class today when my teacher, who happens to be a big bitch fyi, asked a very good question. Got me to thinking!! She asked: Would you rather live the rest of your life with company always with you? Or would you rather live it in solitude? I mean think about it...realllly think about it....I think in the end I am gonna have to go with company for sure. Yeah it would get old n stuff, but being alone would get old much more quick...did I make the right choice?
Company, although they would get annoying you can just make them all stfu or not hear what they say when you want to be alone. With solitude you're alone no matter what and that gets me depressed as fuck. Alone with my thoughts... forever.... No thank you
Oh man.... i was the 6 over 5 vote of company over solitude. I do just want to say that it does depend on what kind of solitude.... Sure, i would rather talk to someone, but if that person was the (dousche bag) of them group, then i might just want to be with a pet. I loved my dog, and i will love another....which i am working on btw. But, ok, so if i had to pick between a doushe bag, and solitude, i guess i would pick solitude. (despite my contrary of the vote, just fyi)
I prefer solitude until I start to go crazy. Then, I prefer company until I need my privacy. This cycle repeats endlessly.
solitude. Ive only met about four decent people my entire life. Id rather spend my time alone then around people not worth my time.
Exactly. I don't believe anyone could be content with choosing one. Unless you've been exposed to solitude/company most of your life. Like me, I've been alone most my life and I accept it. But I'd really prefer to have some company here and there.
ok well, with solitude, even the little chat were having right now would not be happening, COMPLETE SOLITUDE, you can have tangible things, just no other people or creatures
yep, no internet, no phone, no messages in a bottle. i dont even need tv radio or any other form of media. my days would consist of: sleeping - 9 hours working out - 1 hour thinking - 6 hours spacing out - 1 hour exploring places- 3 hours misc - 1 hour whatever the fuck i want - 3 hours no particular sequence. misc includes eating and shitting and time spent in between things whatever the fuck i want can be whatever the fuck i want, for example, climbing trees, rolling around in the dirt, fishing etc
I'll tell you right now, that would get old real fast. It would be like working a 9-5 job everyday, and I simply don't believe people can be happy with the same schedule every single day.
basically replace 15 or so hours a day spent interacting with other people with things to do by yourself. say you go to school or have a full time job, 8 hours a day out of that ~15 is already used up in class or at work. you have 7 hours to watch tv, bullshit on the internet, or bullshit with other people. i just like myself more than i like anyone else.
Think of this. To live a life of complete solitude, that means no human interaction at all. Meaning I cant have a job, go to school, or do anything that interacts with humans. If someone is willing to pay for me to live this life of solitude, like some sort of government experiment, then yes I would. I'd travel the world and have the government pay for it. A life free of all responsibilities, at the price of spending it alone. It sounds tempting. The only other way you could live in complete solitude, would require you to live a life in the shadows, like a hermit up in the mountains. Then if thats the scenario, then no. It all comes down to the forces behind the reason for solitude.
sometimes i feel the saaame wayyy i know im a good guy and frrankly, i dont see many other people in the world that treat others the way that people are supposed to be treated, it pisses me off and really makes me lose faith in other people to see bullies and to see people that dont think about how someone might feel about being called a name, or being judged. This teacher I have judged me and I fuckin hate that shit, she has NO IDEA where I come from, whats going on in my life, or what I am trying to do with my life, so what gives her the right to think that I am a lousy person just because of certain things I may do?? FUCK THAT SHIT, I hate when people act like they know whats up!! But even though probably, eh, 80 percent of the population has their head shoved up their ass, I would still be absolutely mortified if I could not communicate with others, it really is the key to happiness (for me at least) just having someone there that you KNOW wants your company *tear*. i dont know why, but i feel like the only way to stay alive is to share feelings with another being....you dont think about it, but you really can FEEL love.
