The very odd nature of life.

Think of it. Being alone. Has its advantages. I can think of nothing worse than being with people. All the time. Round the clock. No break from togetherness.  Nothing wrong with togetherness. But one can get too much of it. Much easier to adjust to solitude. To solitary confinement. My favorite people are the ones capable of living alone. I like them so much that I want to be with them. Because they are my kind of people. Loners. Solitary souls.  Thing is. We can be with each other. And alone. All at the same time. Sounds odd. But then, that’s the nature of life. Very, very odd. –Jim Broede
