I'm not saying that there's anything better than mated bliss at its best, but I'm saying that living alone is as good in its own way. But we haven't quite given ourselves permission to recognize that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In Genesis, it says that it is not good for a man to be alone; but sometimes it is a great relief.
Total intimacy is a myth; that said, a particular kind of loneliness can be both beautiful and fruitful.
It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss; volatile spirits prefer unhappiness.
It's amazing living alone. I'm very lucky. It's like a refuge.
I don't look for bliss, just contentment.
I've lived on my own since I was 18, and I really love living alone. That, to me, is just great.
I think life is sweeter shared; and if anything were to happen to my partner, I would find it really hard without her because she's the perfect person for my life.
The solution to alone-ness is not more solitude, but companionship and community.
To a shameful extent, the charm of marriage boils down to how unpleasant it is to be alone.
My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind - intimacy, physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.
