"If you are lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company." (Jean Paul Satre)

I´´ve been thinking about this quote by the french existentialist Jean Paul Satre a lot. Nowadays a lot of us - including myself - can hardly be alone by themself. Wait. Hardly be alone? Aren´t we lonesome more these days then in the past with big families livin together in more generation houses? Sure. But can we Really embrace being alone without distracting us with something causing new dopamin sensations? I tried - and still try - to work on being my best friend and just enjoying the time for me doing NOTHING. I even went that far, that I did retreats (up to 2 weeks ^^) were you just medidate, dont talk and no phones, books ect. are allowed. You want to hear more about that? Ask in the comment (spoiler: It was amazing, I felt like a new man, but the real tough thing is to integrate it into ya daily life ...)
