WHY CONSCIOUS PEOPLE LIKE SOLITUDE - impressions about life

Many studies indicate that conscious people prefer solitude. This choice is dictated by many factors.

First and foremost, the crowd distracts and imposes its own mental framework. They confine people to specific beliefs, pigeonhole and label them. People in crowds tend to copy one another and mindlessly repeat words, often without thinking. The crowd is loud, the crowd shouts, and drowns out thoughts. Crowd divides and excludes so-called "Difference". They kill creativity, innovation, and imagination. They kill independent thinking. The crowd reduces everything to the level of the gray crowd. The crowd doesn't like it when someone stands out from the crowd.

Overly intense social interactions can be exhausting. They foster so-called "non-thinking." People in crowds pretend to hear words, but don't truly understand them, even though they think otherwise. The Crowd doesn't think. The crowd runs after crowd, ramming all those who are not in the crowd and ramming themselves. Crowd excludes, divides, and incites war. The unconscious is the mind of the slave. Consciousness unites; the unconscious divides.

Solitude is not about antisociality, but about silence. Being alone fosters deeper reflection. It allows for conversation with oneself. Silence provides the opportunity to look at oneself, the world, life, or a specific issue from different perspectives. Solitude does not seek social acceptance and is not dependent on "what people will say." It activates intellectual curiosity and provides space for deeper contemplation and personal growth. It also provides energy regeneration and protects one from exposing oneself to shallow, superficial conversations about nothing or someone's aggressive enforcement of their so-called truths.

Short periods in the company of others can be pleasant, but it can also be very draining, energetically and intellectually. This is especially true when the topics simply diverge, or, to put it colloquially, there's nothing to discuss.

Aware people look at everything from a detached perspective, as if from a higher perspective. They observe without emotional involvement, which doesn't mean they can't be empathetic. They enjoy deepening their knowledge and are open to challenges and diverse perspectives. They ask questions and possess the ability to actively listen. They demonstrate genuine interest in their interlocutor and their perspective. They don't impose their perspective on others.

Ignorant people are attached to one so-called "truest"—in their opinion—"truth," for which they are willing to fight to the bitter end. The power of beliefs is immense. People attached to their beliefs rarely ask questions because they believe they know better, or even know best. And if they do ask questions, it's only to be told they're right. They don't seek the truth. They seek confirmation that their truth is the "truest." Unlike conscious individuals, who prefer to discuss issues, they enjoy complaining, criticizing, and talking about other people.

Furthermore, the former, i.e., conscious individuals, are not quick to pass judgment and are much more cautious about so-called evaluations. They don't lecture. They teach. They see the world in a multi-layered and multi-threaded way. They are able to connect seemingly disparate elements. They are characterized by greater tolerance and respect for others.

Unconscious people tend to have tunnel vision and black-and-white vision. They see only a small piece of the whole puzzle, which they focus on, fabricating the rest of the story. They divide the world and people into better and worse. They have difficulty seeing that everything is One and everything is inextricably interconnected.

Conscious individuals often perceive being in crowds as non-productive, preventing them from utilizing their increasingly limited earthly resources. time, in the best possible way. They value their independence.

Being different doesn't mean being inferior. Being different means not being average.

Consciousness chooses solitude, silence, and autonomy because consciousness is responsibility and freedom. Unconsciousness needs shouting, glitz, and applause. Consciousness is Humility. Unconsciousness is Conceit using propaganda to promote itself. Conceit is a reverse narrative calling itself truth. But to understand this, silence is necessary.

Being conscious is inextricably linked to being silent. Because Silence speaks, and you can only hear it in silence. Only in silence can you talk to yourself.
