XV. Some people prefer to live alone whereas some others have to live alone for one reason

or another.

Those people believing in inspirational solitude argue that no companion is more

companionable than

solitude. Literary giants such as William Wordsworth, John Milton and Henry Thoreau enjoyed

living

alone on purpose. Hunters or explorers enjoy themselves as they venture out to tame the

great wild

areas. On the other hand, there are some other people who have to live alone due to various

reasons:

being divorced, widowed or never married. Many of them feel bitter to live in solitude. They

have no

one to talk to and as a result they talk at length to themselves and to their pets and to

the television.
