During my college days, I had encountered an individual who was simply fascinating. He had strong views about the nature of life, about the reality of life. He believes that love is an imaginative concept. According to him, some people are just more responsible for others. This was an intriguing philosophy for me as I had never considered viewing the world from this point of view. Islam was almost like he was convinced that no one can love anyone else. Maybe he had a difficult time growing up or some other reasons that led him to believe that love is just a myth. Additionally, he also thinks that solitude is the best thing that could happen to a man. As he believes, solitude can make a man more independent and focused, ultimately making that individual stronger. However, while I agree with him up to an extent, I can’t really put my mind on the source of this information. Maybe he learned these things from experience. However, this person was really intriguing and inspiring. Most of us in the college respected him for being open and for not trying to hide behind the politeness. He never sought anyone’s approval for validation.
