Those lonely and those with wisdom
Life can be compared to the cycles of the seasons, going around and around, coming again and again, ending lonely while ultimately producing wisdom.
Loneliness can create wisdom and vise versa. As Emerson puts it, “Wisdom is created with loneliness,” which means that only when humans are immersed in loneliness can we acquire wisdom. The lonelier humans are, the more wisdom they can comprehend.
Undoubtedly, with the aging of humans and their accumulation of knowledge and experience over time, it is hard for those who highly cultured to interact with those who not, furthering their loneliness. In this way, it is their wisdom that creates their loneliness.
On the other hand, loneliness can lead to wisdom. A proverb from The Moon and Sixpence goes, “If you run away from the noisy world, you can have a deep insight.” By seeking loneliness, humans can see the world clearly instead of living in the midst of the noise.
Thus, there is a fine line transformative relationship between loneliness and wisdom. Wisdom is like a ray of sunshine, while loneliness can be compared to flowers: A ray of sunshine can provide flowers with energy while flowers supply oxygen to the sun, constituting a gorgeous and vivid scene.
