Solitude

Solitude: isolation without the desolation

I don't know why I thought of this while I was sleeping (and I actually remembered it!) but I did. I didn't think of the solitude part until later. I remember I was dreaming about something and then all of a sudden, as if to explain the situation (which I no longer remember), "ISOLATION WITHOUT THE DESOLATION" kind of popped into my head. Weird, huh?

 Thought I'd share.

[edit]

From Milan Kundera's Immortality "Solitude: a sweet absence of looks." Out of context, it kind of doesn't make sense but I thought it was interesting that he wrote about the very thing I was thinking about. I wonder if there's some kind of gravitation towards literature that one can relate to? I mean I had no idea that Kundera would write about solitude, but maybe something about the writing style resonated in me that I returned to it (I had started reading it but I started reading a different book so I had put it down).
