An astounding number of people in this World hate being alone, fear of being without friends, family, or a partner.

They get anxious about traveling alone to strange places, and being lost without anyone to hold hand.

They fear taking on life without a shoulder to lean on, for fear that they are not strong enough or good enough to stand on their own two feet.

In order to gain courage, you must find a way to face the fears we have as Human beings: death, the unknown, oblivion, infinity, darkness, and fear itself.

Facing these unknowable scenarios in life is essential to finding courage within yourself.

The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been before.

You have two choices in your life; you can dissolve into the mainstream, or you can be distinct.

To be distinct, you must be different. To be different, you must strive to be what no one else but you can be.

If you want to walk alone, you will have to be ok with being noticed and it will not always be good notice.

Walking alone is better than walking with the wrong people.

Walking alone is better than changing who you are so you can please others.

Walking alone is better than lying to yourself just so you could fit in.

Walking alone is better than wearing a mask over your real Self.

Walking alone is better than putting yourself second.

Walking alone is better than superficial Human interactions and dialogue.

Journeying through life alone is a learning process – you become stronger as you go.

In order to get through life, most people seem to insulate themselves in a bubble of rationalisations, lies, expectations, hopes, entitlements and so on.

Friendships for the most part are based on the mutual reinforcements of the illusions and delusions that sustain people.

Naturally friendships will be with like-minded people who inhabit the same bubble.

Strong and well- cultivated people require and cherish time alone. The opposite may be true for the weaker kind

In our culture people can be spineless, driven by a bland narcissism, and it is getting worse, so walking alone and who living your interests for meaning and fulfilment is a rare type of good fortune.
