You cannot understand society until you appreciate eating alone. Sitting by yourself with only food to keep you company is where you discover if you like yourself or not. If you cannot survive eating alone, you will never be happy. You will waste your life at dinner parties avoiding yourself.
It is all about yourself. You cannot live for other people. You cannot live for society. You have to live for yourself. You have to want to live. You have to want.
I am not saying there is no such thing as love. I am not saying material possessions do not matter. But you have to want someone or something before they have meaning.
Many people go through life never wanting. They react. They do what they are supposed to do. They rarely eat alone.
