Summary

This quote suggests that being lonely can actually be a gift, as it allows individuals to see and understand their society or community in a unique and radical way. When one is isolated, separate from the influences and opinions of others, they gain a fresh perspective and are able to identify aspects or issues that may have been overlooked or suppressed. Loneliness, in this context, is seen as an opportunity to challenge conventional thoughts and bring new ideas to the forefront, ultimately contributing to the betterment of society or one's own people.
