Isolation is not that bad

A few weeks ago I watched an Argentinean movie called Medianeras. It is such a great movie with an extraordinary soundtrack  - which I am listening right now. It talks about how crazy our life is and how to deal with isolation. In the end, I started to think about how small we are in the middle of this world and how our society values were built. 

According to them we have to grow up surrounded by a lot of people and friends. Of course, it is good to have someone around you, but there are some people who just do not feel good with that situation and prefer to be alone. It would be ok if people accepted that, but no; they usually criticize those who are different of them.

In my particular case, I like to be surrounded by people, but frequently I feel like being alone is good. I really enjoy having my privacy, where I can express all my feelings and emotions and think about my life.  

The idea of isolation that I am talking about is not the one where you are completely off screen of the world. It is about being alone most part of the time, but having some friends who are not that close to you.

I am just like this and because of that people judge me telling that I am a person with no feelings and who does not care about the others.

Well, I think that we don’t have to follow the society rules with we are not doing bad things for someone. We are free to choose our path, and that is the beauty of the life. Our differences are what make us so special.
