The Power of Solitude and Creation

We often mistake a crowded life for a connected one. Yet being surrounded by people does not cure loneliness. Shallow encounters never touch the soul. True connection does not depend on company; if you are disconnected from yourself, you will feel lonely regardless of who is around you.

"The deepest loneliness is being detached from your own self."

That is why solitude matters: it restores the inner bond. In solitude, we rediscover connection — with the stars on a clear night, with the quiet patience of trees, with music that awakens something timeless within us, or with the words of books that carry voices across centuries.

Freedom Begins Within

Freedom is not something society can grant. It is not found in institutions, possessions, or applause. Freedom begins within — in the person who chooses to live by their own creation rather than by the designs of others.

Our ancestors lived in hardship, and it was through resistance that humanity thrived. Modern comfort, however, softens both body and spirit. It strips away the stresses and challenges that once made us strong, leaving us weaker and dependent.

To remain alive in spirit, one must welcome difficulty — through labor, discipline, and creation. Without resistance, there is only decay.

A Culture of Junk

Society today offers endless information and endless products, most of them useless to true well-being. We live in a culture of junk disguised as necessity.

“What we truly need is less. What we need is not what weakens us, but what strengthens us.”

Even institutions such as marriage have drifted far from their original purpose. For centuries, they were built around control — to impose order and limit chaos, with men holding authority, women tied to the household, and children guided by adults. This structure was not inherently oppressive; it reflected a belief that stability and direction were necessary for survival.

But today, the balance has become distorted. Men are expected to provide beyond what is real or reasonable — burdened with weddings, homes, and endless demands. Meanwhile, marriage itself can be dissolved in an instant, feeding lawyers and courts like flies on rotten food. In this system, many men become slaves to illusion, spending fortunes on a bond they barely understand.

In truth, marriage no longer holds the value it once did. A wise person chooses love freely, without possession. Genuine connection matters more than contracts or appearances.

Creation Over Consumption

To grow food, harvest honey, build a house with my own hands, and write words that endure — these are acts of creation. To create is to live. To consume without end is to rot.

Even here in the city, I have clean water, solitude, safety, and freedom. For this, I am grateful. Gratitude is strength.

"If this remains enough, I will stay. If it fails, I will go to the countryside and build my own ground. Either way, my direction is clear."
