The Chinese sage Ching Chow proclaimed that ‘What fools call loneliness, wise men know as solitude’. I took out the “men” because wisdom is not determined by gender.
“Men” can also be a generic term, especially during those days.
In past centuries, women were often regarded as chattel and wise women were often burned as witches. We have come a long way since then but we still haven’t attained gender equality.
