Quoted from Wilson Lee Flores’s article on The Philippine Star last Jan 7, 2007 titled ‘The Indescribable Joy of Solitude’:

“Solitude enhances our sense of focus, self-discipline, self-analysis and allows us priceless time for introspection.”

“There is also something about solitude that humbles our ego, calms our restless spirit and somehow brings us closer to God.”

“Whether at home or geographically and culturally far away as I am, we can all seek our own level of solitude, which is good for our physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual well-being.”

“I believe deep thinking, replenishing our physical energies, creativity, dreaming (or daydreaming) and spirituality (not religiosity) are at their fullest during solitude.”

==============================
Personally, I enjoy solitude because it enables me think clearly, relax and reflect on things. So don’t be surprised if ever I become an old bachelor, hermit or monk someday. ;)
