Isolation-Falsely Implicated Phenomenon

Man is a social animal. This is the first sentence of every civics textbook & in all the grades. While socialising is a pivotal feature of human society, it is a fact which cannot be denied. Socialising, often booms out of the fear of isolation. There are very few people who are high on social quotient & have natural socialising tendencies. The vast majority of others develop this art as an instinctive reply to the fear of isolation. But the most important question out here is "WHY FEAR ISOLATION? "
Isolation has been conferred as something demonic in nature. Isolation, in my opinion helps you to discover the you in yourself. I think isolation is that state wherein, you have the freedom to pursue yourself endlessly. With no social compulsions, you touch the new pinnacles of your persona. I have realised & experienced the wonders of isolation. It develops within you that inner strength to face the world at large without buckling under social compulsions. It helps to develop that core ideology which can resist the winds of ideological brainwashing. You can defend your view points with that severity which your opposition can never think of.
But despite my bias towards isolation one cannot forget the natural instinct of being social. If you have infinite strength to grow in isolation then it can also make you surrender to the society. You can lose that inner strength if you aren't able to withstand social pressures. But to see isolation as a complete demonic manifestation will be an insult to few individuals like me who have experienced its benefits.
While acknowledging its pros & cons, it ultimately depends upon how one perceives the circumstances rather than the actual circumstances.
