says: Ten percent of them have died or committed suicide orbecome insane after one year, and the others too have suffered from a sort of mental disease( depression ).

Then he adds: among the individual prisoners, the challengeof social spirit of a person against death is really pathetic, because sometimes only offering one flower or one candy to aprisoner, may quench his thirst for social contact and save himfrom death.

He stipulates about the monks and cenobites that seclusionhas ill effects in their spirit, and causes depression, despair, delusion and most often a sort of mental disorder.. [١]

The effects of social seclusion in desert travelers andnomadic tribes, who live in a sort of permanent seclusion, are particularly visible, because their retardation is manifest in all mental and social aspects and in proportion with the manner of their tribal seclusion.

So, we shall accept thatsocial seclusion is the greatest enemy for perfection of societiesand progresses and men's development in all aspects and it isalso the source of all types of deviations.
