- Latest Review: Becoming Change Makers by Dr. Dominica McBride
Now that you put it that way, I remembered I had also found Dr.Ross's statement simplistic. There are infinite types of people, and what works for one may not work for another. His arguments defending "Hope" are universal, but you nailed it in this specific aspect.NetMassimo wrote: ↑16 Dec 2023, 07:41 Honestly, I think it was too simplistic. Personally, I feel better mostly on my own while often people stress me. For this reason, I'm very selective in the company I keep. That's very subjective, depending on your personality and the environment in which you live, so mentioning a generic network of people as an advantage felt really simplistic to me.

- Latest Review: Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature, second edition by Chet Shupe
We are social and interdependent creatures. We cannot survive and thrive on our own all the time. We need others, particularly in hard times.
However, the hard work of introspection and reflection and part of intellectual development should be a solo journey. Each of us is on our consciousness level. Solitary life allows for independent exploration of the world. We need diverse schools of thought; it is suitable for our collective intelligence.
