Summary

This quote suggests that many of a person's troubles stem from their discomfort and inability to spend time alone in silence. Being alone and embracing solitude allows for self-reflection, introspection, and a deeper understanding of oneself.

This quote implies that the avoidance of solitude can lead to a buildup of unresolved problems and hinder personal growth and self-awareness.
