He went out to the field one evening to meditate. Days during the vacation are played out with one outing after another such that there is very little solitary time.
I enjoy companionship a lot and so I always have difficulty dealing with partings. I love camps, how everyone goes to sleep together, wakes up together, eats together, as with overseas trips, how no moment is individualised.
When I learnt that people with low social solidarity have a higher inclination to committing suicide, I thought Of course!
But recently, I realised that too much time spent with others can be unhealthy when it robs you of your personal time for quiet meditation. Spending time in isolation is like a calm retreat that everyone ought to have.
