SOLITUDE is the state of being alone, especially when this is peaceful and pleasant. Solitude and Loneliness are two different things. Loneliness is isolation from others but Solitude is a state of being alone but peacefully.
Loneliness is a negative state where you feel alone. Solitude is the state of being alone without being lonely.
We all are afraid to leave alone. We are telling us again and again that we need each other to be happy. And that is true somewhere we surely need each other but because of this, we are somewhere dependent on each other.
But when we lose the ability to be alone with ourselves. It becomes dangerous. We always search for people. And when we find no one around us we feel depressed, alone.
