# 1 Love. Let me start by saying that it is often easier to be loving toward others when I'm alone. More love is present within me when my brain, not just my body, is in solitude, and not mentally chattering and going over and over something, . The solitude I long for is not only about choosing to be physically alone; it is also about choosing to have loving thoughts.
