Company

"The child cannot exist without company. The Gypsies and all uneducated people wander around in company. The peasant goes out of the gate on Sunday as soon as he is dressed. He looks for someone to talk to. The great of mankind liked to live in privacy. A French writer said: - "I am honored when someone visits me, but everyone is pleasing me when he doesn't. This suggests that company is not exactly a necessary condition of life. The physically weak feel protected in company, the mentally weak thus seek to trigger their thoughts. To be forever in company is as foolish as to live forever alone. But in any case, if you have to choose between the two excesses, it is more pleasant and useful to do the latter."
