The Other Thing Is Better

Be With Each Other?

I’m an introvert at heart. I get energy from spending time in my own company.

Often, it can be a relief to be alone.

But Too Much Alone Doth Also Make Jack A Dull Boy. In fact it makes Jack quite an unhappy boy. Because most of our memories, the thing that says to us “I Woz Here”, even for the most Kermit - In - A - Cave like of us, come from stuff that happens when other people are around. That’s what gets our mental and emotional juices flowing the most.

Ooh, and by around I mean … Physically Present. Strangely, although I’ve had some very nice online interactions, the recollection of them doesn’t last a long time.

That’s not to say they don’t count. When they are all we’ve got, we cherish them.

But they are not all we’ve got. The other thing is better.
