In "The End of Solitude," Deresiewicz emphasizes the importance of solitude in one's success. He stresses how solitude leads to deep introspection, and is the ony way to truly form your own ideas and personality. "But no real excellence, personal or social, artistic, philosophical, scientific or moral, can arise without solitude." It is true that solitude is important, but one cannot truly experience the values and joys of life without creating personal relationships and connections. For instance, when I think about important or amazing times in my life, there has always been someone there with me, or someone who has shared the same life changing day. To me, life is not only about accomplishments that can only be made through solitude, but moments, and the ones we share with our friends and family. Greatness can be achieved through solitude, but one cannot feel truly fulfilled without shared human experiences.
