Only by facing loneliness can we enjoy loneliness

There is a sentence in "Monsieur van Gogh":''No matter what you have, we are born to be alone''But in our current society that is generally impetuous, many people are afraid to fall into long-term loneliness, so we will try to find things that can make you less lonely, when you think you will not be lonely, as everyone knows, next time, you may fall into deeper loneliness.

is like Colonel Aureliano Buendía in "One Hundred Years of Solitude", he is an active representative of his family, and he has shown a different intelligence from others since he was a child, so his father also likes to take him to the laboratory, and later went out alone and had his own army. When he was young, he launched 32 battles, he was an admirable colonel in the eyes of others, and there were many beautiful women around him, and battles became the focus of his life.

But when he finally found that his constant campaigns were just to fill his fears, he hastily signed an armistice and returned to his little house to continue making goldfish, and then destroyed them again the next day, doing these things alone and repeatedly, just to fill his inner fears, until one day he died humbly while urinating under a tree.

Márquez said in "One Hundred Years of Solitude": "Everyone seems very lonely, and they try their best to get rid of loneliness in their own way, in fact, they still perpetuate their loneliness." ”
