Comment on Solitude by Bob McWilliams

It sounds like a very pregnant article. I found myself thinking of all sorts of places to go with it. The Solitude and loneliness really draw me emotionally for some reason. The whole ting though seems to offer a hope. I’m very interested after this tease where your thoughts may go.

Thank you, Lisa. How sweet of you to leave a comment for me.
This has always been a problem for me, even before I started with my studies in philosophy… well, to be honest I grew up with Philosophy, so, I mean before I actually thought about it making my livelihood. I always had strong opinions and felt that it was necessary to ‘know what was going on’ in the world and beyond, to simply look further. Maybe it’s just the way I’m made, maybe it’s a personal philosophy as you say, but in any case, the world probably would be less easy to manipulate if people really started to do a bit more as the ‘philosophers’ do

Bettina,
This was beautifully written. I truly resonate with what you have said. It does take courage to examine your personal philosophy…yes to even develop one.

Maybe the realization that you cannot change anyone liberates you from the burden of expectation, and opens both of you up to the entrance of grace.

Lovely writing.
