“If we don’t teach our children to be alone, they will only know how to be lonely.” Quote by Sherry Turkle
If you don’t learn the ease of being alone, you will always be lonely… (my adaptation)
Quote by Sherry Turkle
REFLECTION:
- Do you like your own company? Are you at ease being alone?
- How can you embrace being alone – not filling your moments with distractions (social media, news, noise, etc) but alone with your thoughts … alone with yourself.
- If you have children, how can you teach them to be alone … free of distractions – free of being entertained 24/7 with a false sense of connection.
