Some people prefer to spend most of their time alone. Others like to hang out with friends instead.When faced with the problem of making choice between to stay alone and to be with friends for most of my time, I would like to choose the former one, and there are two reasons below.
The first one for me to stay alone for most of my time is that I can have more freedom when I am alone. People usually have different opinions. So when they stay together, the first thing is to eliminate these differences and to reach one accord. It becomes apparent, for instance, when a group of people travel together. At first, almost everybody has his own plan. After a long controversy they will finally meet the agreement but none of them is really satisfied since he has to give up some parts of his favorite plan. But a person who travels alone will be free to enjoy his own schedule completely.
And besides, being alone is the basis for personal development, especially studies. If you calculate and compare the time you have used in studying alone and in studying with friends, you will soon find out the fact that you always spent much more time alone in learning mathematics, reading books, drawing pictures or practising piano. Because people need a peaceful environment to absorb new stuff. On the other hand, for this case, group discussions are also necessary. But that interaction with people will be effective only when the members have something to share with, such as feelings, ideas or knowledge, and most of these are need to be obtained independently.
Therefore, in order to get a life with more freedom, knowledge and wisdom I prefer to spend most of my time alone.
