Description
Another classic essayist, William Hazlitt, began an essay thusly:
“One of the pleasantest things in the world is going a journey; but I
like to go by myself. I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature
is company enough for me. I am then never less alone than when
alone.” Do you prefer traveling alone or with company? Contemplate
for a moment how the experience of walking through deep woods
feels when you are simply by yourself and how it feels when you are in
the company of a congenial friend. (Better yet, find a forest or lakeside
and actually have the experience before writing.) How about a museum
or historic cathedral? Do you crave solitude when in the presence of art
and architecture, or good company?
it must be 4 pages long.

People say the best experience when you are alone. The fresh air in the woods is what
many people crave for after getting stuck in a jam.
I made my food fast and took a cold shower to feel fresh. My stomach was full
so I carried water in a bottle and stepped out. This was going to be my moment of
solitary and retreat. It was long since I had gone out into the woods alone most of the
times I usually am in the company of my friends or family. My father is really in love with
the woods. I guess this is the reason he bought a house that is near to the woods.
I had read a book by Robin Sharma "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" and his
suggestion of solitude. He talks on the books that solitude is one of the rituals of happy
living. I wanted my walk into the woods...
