He is correct though, which is the thing that matters most of all.

Also; it tends to be fatal.

>>8786544
Gee I wonder why you're alone

>>8786535
go back to plebbit, man

Most all philosophers advice a lonesome life, given that you have a hobby that's distracting you from the feels. The only valid anti-loner sentence I know is by Aurelius. He said something in the lines of "people are made for eachother"

>>8786595
This, pretty much.

Loneliness is a construct. It doesn't really exist in reality. Everything is emptiness and emptiness is everything. You are alone and alone is you, you are not alone and everything is you. You are everything and you are everything that you need. You are nothing at all, yet everything.

>>8787370

Literature says it's comfy. I'd invest in a boat and go out to sea if I were you desu.

to drown himself far out on the open ocean, surrounded by endless water as he returns to his ancient home?

>>8787409
That's actually a fucking patrician way to off yourself. I'll keep it in mind.

>>8787445
i like to think it's the most patrician

it would be incredibly uncomfortable though, i imagine

And he's right. He isn't criticizing lonely people there, rather he's stressing that people are social creatures that thrive off of interaction, and that isolation leads to stagnation and misery.

Loneliness is the plague of the 21st century. Even though we're more connected than ever we're also more isolated. Communities are dead. Families are broken up. Neighbors don't know each other. It's sad.

>Neighbors don't know each other

LXXXVI
Novius is my neighbour, and can be touched by
the hand from my windows. Who would not envy
me, and think me every hour of the day happy in
being able to enjoy so close a comrade ? He is as
far from me as Terentianus who now governs Syene
on the Nile. I can't dine with him, nor even see
him or hear him, and in all the city there is no man
who is so near and yet so far from me. I must
shift farther, or he must. You should be Novius's
neighbour, or fellow-lodger, if you don't wish to see
Novius.

Apparently Martial had the same problem back in the first century.

i remember Aristotle saying otherwise
