事實(shí)如此，我們孤獨(dú)無伴地生活著。據(jù)最近的統(tǒng)計(jì)，共有2,200萬人獨(dú)自生活在自己的屋里。其中有些人喜歡這種生活，有些卻不是。有些離了婚，有些鰥寡無伴，也有些從未結(jié)過婚。

孤獨(dú)或許是這里的一種民族弊病，它比起其他任何過錯(cuò)更加令人難以啟齒。而另一方面，故意選擇獨(dú)處，拒絕別人的陪伴而非為同伴所拋棄，這正美國式英雄的一個(gè)特點(diǎn)。孤獨(dú)的獵人，孤獨(dú)的探險(xiǎn)者，在鹿群和狼群中間冒險(xiǎn)，去征服廣袤的荒野，這時(shí)他們并不需要有人陪伴。梭羅獨(dú)居在湖畔的小屋，有意拋棄了城市生活?，F(xiàn)在，這成了你的個(gè)性。

獨(dú)處的靈感是詩人和哲學(xué)家最有用的東西。他們都贊成獨(dú)處，都因能夠獨(dú)處而自視甚高，至少在他們匆匆忙忙趕回家喝茶之前的一兩個(gè)小時(shí)之內(nèi)是如此。

就拿多蘿西·華茲華斯來說吧，她幫她兄弟威廉穿上外衣，為他找到筆記本和鉛筆，向他揮手告別，目送著他走進(jìn)早春的陽光去獨(dú)自對花沉思。他寫道："獨(dú)處多么優(yōu)閑,美妙。"

毫無疑問，如果自愿獨(dú)處，則感覺要好得多。

瞧瞧彌爾頓的女兒們：她們?yōu)樗麥?zhǔn)備好墊子和毯子，然后躡手躡腳地走開，以便他能創(chuàng)作詩歌。然而他并不自己費(fèi)神將詩歌寫下來，而是喚回女兒們，向她們口述，由她們寫下來。

也許你已經(jīng)注意到，這些藝術(shù)家類型的人，大多是到戶外獨(dú)處，而家里則自有親人們備好了熱茶，等著他們回家。

美國的獨(dú)處高士是梭羅。我們欽佩他，并非因?yàn)樗珜?dǎo)自力更生精神，而是因?yàn)樗律硪蝗嗽谕郀柕呛仙?，這是他自己想要這么做的。他獨(dú)居
