Summary

This quote, attributed to Thomas Jefferson, criticizes the existence of a single dominant bank, stating that it is undoubtedly an unfortunate situation. The solution to this problem was to create multiple banks, with the intention of rectifying the issue. However, Jefferson argues that the proliferation of banks only intensified their negative influence, replacing valuable precious metals with a system reliant on paper money. Given the nature of these institutions, Jefferson suggests that it is best to refrain from interference and involvement between these parties.

There is convincing evidence that the search for solitude is

There is convincing evidence that the search for solitude is not a luxury but a biological need. Just as humans posses a herding instinct that keeps us close to others most of the time, we also have a conflicting drive to seek out solitude. If the distance between ourselves and others becomes too great, we experience isolation and alienation, yet if the proximity to others becomes too close, we feel smothered and trapped.
