19 - An Island

Are you the kind of person who likes to be alone? Some people don’t like it at all. The truth is we all need to find some kind of balance, right? I think we should learn to be comfortable being alone, but it’s also healthy to be in the company of other people.

That’s what our reading is about. Finding that balance. “Conditions” refers to states or situations that we live in. Good conditions. Bad conditions. Normal conditions. Not everyone lives under the same conditions or want the same coniditions.

Listen for that word as well as the verb “draw.” It has two meanings. You probably know that to draw means to use a pencil or other tool to make a picture. But “draw” also means to move or move something in a certain direction.

For example, a rainstorm can draw near, move closer. Are you like an island? Think about it. Do you let people draw near? Hopefully, you feel neither isolated nor crowded. I think we all need to find a balance in life between being alone and being with others.
