Yeah but lately more than ever{for some reason} it seems people are powder kegs, {the ones you know}All of a sudden for very little, almost no reason, they have "outbursts",which they say when pressed, is not "directly" related to you, more like you were "in the wrong place at the wrong time"{in other words, you became the scapegoat".A few hours before you saw them and they were happy and upbeat, and after they "used you for a punching bag", the next day they may be happy and playful again. The point being, though, since I'm NOT a punching bag or a scapegoat,{and it's happened several times within a short time}, I mean, nobody finds it "enjoyable" to be treated like that, or made to be somebodys "whipping boy." Which is why when I draw the parralell between dealing with others and being alone, I don't have to deal with their {mood swings arguments ,criticism}.While it's a good point you made about asking God, my point was in my own preferences,I prefer the serenity of being alone over being the victim of their "moods."And solitude alone is not always frowned upon in the Bible. Jesus went into the wilderness for 40 days.Moses went up to Mt. Sanai BY HIMSELF to receive the 10 commandments.So I don't think it's "always" a bad thing to have solitude,although most people seem to think being alone is something to dread.Mostly unsaved people have these "mood swings", and no conscience about being rude and disrespectful to others,.
