6.Alone But Not Lonely
In today's fast-paced society,we've become uncomfortable with silence.We try to find different types of activities that can help us escape feelings of laziness or boredom.(36)DSolitude(獨處)does not have to be uncomfortable or lonely.In fact,solitude and loneliness are very different things.
The death of a loved one or the inability to find people who understand you can leave you feeling lonely.Even if you are surrounded by other people,it's natural to experience an emptiness while longing for love or acceptance.(37)AGeoffrey F.Fisher once said,"In cities,no one is quiet but many are lonely.(38)E"
We often fill loneliness with all types of unsatisfying activities.Young people would rather spend a Friday night out with strangers than spend the night alone.They're looking for a way to kill time while they await true friendship.Then there are young adults in gangs where they don't really like their companions.(39)BWhy does being alone scare us?
Do not be afraid of silence.(40)FIt teaches you how to truly listen.It teaches you to pay attention to what's going on inside of you.Only when we are alone can we have the space and peace we need to think without being outwardly influenced.It therefore becomes easier to make important decisions as well as to reflect on how we are feeling.
A.Loneliness is therefore a feeling that can be experienced whether or not one is physically alone.
B.They would rather feel accepted on a shallow level than risk feeling alone.
C.The problem of loneliness can be easily solved in a modern world.
D.But,when doing so,the main thing we are trying to avoid is loneliness.
