“We are born alone, we live alone, and we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.” This quote was addressed by Orson Welles, an American motion-picture actor, director, producer and writer.

Ambitions, problems and duties are the things that run in my mind when I’m alone. I think of God when I’m doing nothing. Examining my conscience assists me in doing good deeds. Through this, I will be able to identify what needs to be done. Knowing myself better happens when I’m with no one else.
