Coffee Chat ☕

Let's spill the tea (and coffee) on life and economics over a cuppa!

Welcome to the first edition of Coffee Chat! Today, we'll be having a casual discussion about life and economics over a cup of coffee. And what better way to start our conversation than with a quote about solitude?

As Benjamin Franklin once said, "Solitude is not what it seems. In solitude, we are our true selves. It is only in solitude that we can find the freedom to be who we truly are."

Sometimes we can get so caught up in our daily routines and interactions with others that we forget to just be with ourselves. This can lead to feeling overwhelmed or stressed. But by embracing solitude, we can learn to be independent and discover new things about ourselves.

The idea of being alone and enjoying it is also related to economics. In economics, the concept of opportunity cost is often discussed. This is the cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to pursue a certain action. When we take time for ourselves and enjoy our solitude, we are forgoing the opportunity to spend time with others or pursue other activities. But the benefits of this solitary time can far outweigh the opportunity cost. We can return to our daily routines feeling refreshed, re-energized, and with a better understanding of ourselves.

So, why not pour yourself a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy a little solitude today? You might be surprised by what you discover about yourself!
