I like reading books after working hour, particularly when all of my colleagues leave the office. When they all leave, I would turn off the aircon. The room becomes very quiet. No sound. No move. And I feel very comfortable focusing on my books. I could easily imagine the scene the writer say in the book and lose into my imaginary world. At that moment, my world and the outside world is cut off. Everything inside the room is in the stillness, while outside the room, the traffic of vehicles jams the room and people are heading back and forth. We are completely disconnected. I do not disturb their flow and they do not disturb my flow. I feel that, though with or without me, the society could go on perfectly well. And that if one day I suddenly were to disappear from this world, the world is still in its function.
Frankly, I am a kind of quiet person. I don't like the crowd. I don't like the noise. And sometimes, being alone is not bad idea at all; though sometimes I feel like being accompanied. I know that nobody want to be lonely; however, I just hate being disappointed. Hence, I would choose to be alone than to be around by many people, most importantly, the people that I don't want them to be around.
