Ancient Roman Philosophers' Life Lessons Men Learn Too Late In Life

"IF YOU LIKE BEING ALONE, IT'S A SIGN THAT YOU HAVE INNER STRENGTH AND INDEPENDENT THINKING... A MAN WHO LIKES BEING ALONE HAS MORE ABILITY TO APPRECIATE MOMENTS OF SOLITUDE TO ENJOY THE SIMPLICITY OF LIFE." 💯💯💯

My children have left home, I have now retired, I wrap my aloneness around me like a big comfy blanket. I love being alone, I am not lonely... I just don't like being around people, the loneliest I have ever felt was in a room full of people.

I didn’t choose to be alone, it just happened and now that it has I don’t think I could ever be not alone. I prefer it this way

Alone does not equal lonely. It is more a simple life without annoying distractions.

There is a huge difference between being alone and being lonely. Being lonely means craving interactions, being alone is being aware of your surroundings.

My trials and tribulations have taught me to avoid people...keep my circle small...society has gotten sick,twisted, offended by everything, want validation for everything from everyone...being alone gives peace of mind, drama free life..its a blessing

Being around people that don’t understand you is worse than being alone.

I find that i'm always the happiest when i'm alone, being with people is exhausting

I was brought up that I was selfish because I liked being alone…. I know better now why I like being alone. Taught my kids it’s ok to be alone and enjoy your own company and space ❤

"The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury" As someone who lost a 30 year friendship over money this resonated with me.

I've always been alone & I'm glad. It has made me a stronger person.

"Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk" Sounds like most politicians.

It is hard to be lonely but a blessing to be alone.

I love hearing these….puts so much of our lives into perspective. Marcus Aurelius was such a brilliant man.

I dont mind being alone. Saves me so much trouble and stress.

I enjoy being alone but when I meet a cool unselfish person it's awesome.

When I was a kid my family moved constantly. No sooner that I would make a friend then we’d move. I quickly learned that having friends wasn’t worth it and so I learned to become my own best friend, for better or worse lol. As an adult, however, I looked back to High School and realized that one or five friends that are solid is far better than a hundred who know your name but are superficial. Currently I have one friend. I’m happy with that. I know when shit’s going to hell, he’ll be right there with me, ready to fight if need be. I chose my wife the same way: we been married 23 years, some of which were VERY rough years and I can say with complete confidence that she’ll jump in the trenches with me and fight. That’s two people in my life that I know I can count on, and that’s all I need. I love being alone… but I love being with my family and friend.

In the beginning i did not choose ti be alone, but now that it is so, i can't help being alone and i believe my God Almighty's plan has taken over. This is the best thing and a great gift from Him who knows best. I have plenty time to think, meditate and analyse too many things around my life and in my house. Thank you so much for this gracious video. I am sleeping a very happy wiman who's been worrying herself that maybe something is wrong with me and what are people thinking about my being alone. Righteous and gracious knowing that God is always with me. Hallelujah 😂❤❤❤

There isn’t anything more enjoyable than to be at home and have peace of mind, although sometimes I think about , making « friends «  and all BUT time with myself /by myself is so much more pleasurable 😊

"Silence is a lesson learned through life's many sufferings." - M Aurelius Sadly I've learned this lesson! I've gradually become less social over the years as one hit follows another. Nowadays I spend more time with my dog than any human lol
