Solitude

I've been pondering the difference between Loneliness and Solitude.

Loneliness seems to be a state of lacking company, an unsavory feeling seeming from perceived incompleteness and abnormal abandonment or alienation.

Solitude is a state of wholeness while in isolation. It carries a feeling of appreciation for the opportunity to be with oneself, apart from distraction, to be complete in the present without the need for additional stimulus or companionship.
