SOLITUDE mimics the inherent FEAR OF DEATH and dying that every unenlightened mind carries.

Solitude reveals the implicit ending of your means of escape from yourself. The ending of distractions, pleasures of the senses. Cancellation of the company of others. Joys of relationships. It reveals the end that your life is destined to.

That’s why people fear it and that’s why death is the ultimate terror for an ordinary person (putthujana) who is existentially dependent upon others, upon sensuality, upon distraction.
