"There is a Voice which does not use words. Listen."
-Rumi
Solitude is not the fate of men until chosen by men themselves. Men choose their own fate, the firm believers in existentialism say. Self-esteem is to men, what is beauty to women & for them, the disrespect of their personal space and the need to listen to their inner voice paves the way for solitude.
Great wars have been fought to preserve the self-respect of 'great men'. But every man need not be 'great' & every war need not kill bodies. The lazy ones prefer to burn the souls. Their war is not the 'great' war. Their war is not merely about the material existence. Theirs is the little war within themselves. The little war to create the fine line between what they want and what they don't at every stage of life, the little war to figure out who they are and who they aren't, the little war to have an ideological control over their emotions & the little war to always remember and follow the outcomes of their deep introspection and contemplation.
Milan Kundera, through his fictional work in the masterpiece "The unbearable Lightness of Being" introduces the rule of three. The Novel circles around a divorced libertine, Tomas who falls prey to the feeling of compassion for one of his preys or sensual partners as he prefers to call them. Tomas' rule of three dictates that you either see them (his mistresses) over a long period of time but must allow three weeks to pass between consecutive encounters, or you see them up to three times in quick succession but then never again. Such vast are the boundaries of his personal space that he came up with such an algorithm that his lust for the personal space appeared to overshadow his lust for women & left him in solitude in the eyes of the world but should men that strong, with such strong endeavor, with such firm resolution care if they appear weak in the eyes of others?
