RE: The Importance of Being Accompanied
I also advocate loneliness, not imposed, but the loneliness needed to be with oneself. I always remember the film The Shipwrecked One, where the man had to invent a friend in order not to feel so alone. That's what it's all about! Thank you for your comment, @hlezama.
You're welcome. Are you talking about Tom Hanks' Cast Away? Wilson, the ball, quite a needed company, although I think Hanks' character might have been more successful had he tried capturing a parrot and teaching it to talk :)
I think that we need as much company as we need introspection. Most of the problems peole have with friends, family and co-workers derive from our inability or unwillingness to see ourselves from outside, to accept our defects and do something about them.
