FRIENDS

I am off to take a late night bath. Have not been able to for the whole day because a friend was there with me since morning. This brings me to the topic for now----“friends”. By now I have made it pretty clear that I don’t like company. I don’t like being made to sit with people and chit chat while there may be a thousand more things I could spend my time on. Is man really a social animal or he is made to be one. I mean how many people get to cherish the purity of solitude early in their life so that they can impartially judge whether it’s better to be alone or to be in a group. After all we are primates and the highest primate next to us the orangutan is a confirmed loner. Friends and gossip are great for relieving your mind. But beyond a certain measure they begin to throttle you. And I feel everyone should be given a chance to spend some time in solitude. I can surely say the time spent that way is my best part of the day. Have to take that bath now.
