Some people are social animals, while others are loners. Some folks crave the constant company of people. They thrive on interaction with others, and they are lost and miserable if there is nobody “to play with”. Then there are folks who sort of “tolerate” being around others, but are secretly most comfortable when they are alone with their own thoughts and desires.
A healthy life usually strikes a balance between the two. There are certainly times when we want and need to share our talents and enjoy fellowship with other people. Gives us perspective and the opportunity to serve, which is good for the soul. But we also need to spend quiet time, to relax and perhaps talk things over with God, listening for His reply.
It’s easy to become too busy or too lonely. Extremes usually don’t work.
So true. Thank you for the reminder.
