Why did Einstein find solitude delicious during the years of maturity?

Obviously you are too young to fully understand this,
just believe that is what might happen to persons who
have enough ideas not to get bored with themselves.
(Almost) all pains have a reason, like a warning, so Nature
gives us the pain of solitude when we are young and with not enough
company just to warn us we are detaching from its plans.
When we get older Nature just gives up towards the person who is still
alone, and the pain disappears.
Wish you have plenty of good company for all your life!

Hi Shem, I think that what Einstein mean by this quote is that it’s only when we are alone that we can reach into ourselves and find truth, beauty and our.soul

I agree with Einstein, totally. Solitude is away from all the countless idiots that want your attention.
