A moment

Me - Blown away on a shady day. Feet on pebbles, I gaze up at a bunch of raw mangoes, shaded by palm fronds and a hint of grey sky beyond. Shades of green all around. Cool.
Arun - Would it not be possible to appreciate all this without being a loner? There has to be a way to live in this world and yet see the beauty in it, without running away from the facts of life.
Me - Loner is a position arrived at by evolution, revolution and choice. Those experiences are my facts of life. Yes I choose to run away from them. This cocoon is my world.And I have the choice to fill it with and see whatever beauties I choose and, whatever my limited interactions with the world serves up to me. So, one loses out on diversity. Done most.
Arun - The context is not why you are enjoying what you are enjoying, but how I can do the same!
Me - That needs some thought yaar. You are too entwined. You don't have the degrees of freedom I had. You just have constraints that progressively bind, both by circumstance and choice. I'll get back
