00:00Loneliness, you know, is the best gift that life can offer you. Seriously.
00:04If you are not lonely, then the alternative is to be with something terrible.
00:11What would you prefer?
00:12Let's say you are travelling by bus or you are in a flight.
00:15The seat next to you is occupied by a hideous person.
00:19Is that better or is it better to have a vacant seat?
00:22Is it better to have a vacant seat? Please.
00:24I am not saying that the seat remain vacant for the entire journey.
00:30But must you be in a hurry to very quickly fill that up?
00:34Must you be in a terrible rush? That's the thing.
00:37Most of us have such low tolerance for loneliness that we fill it up with crap.
00:43Either the wrong kind of job or beliefs or person or location or something.
00:50Loneliness I said is a gift because it gives you the opportunity and the freedom to go for the best.
