زندگى تحت توفيقات اصول اخلاق - مكارم شيرازى، ناصر - الصفحة ٤٧ - Disadvantages of seclusion and dissociation

live in seclusion, we have broken this mirror and our menta lappearance will be like the discordant appearance of those who never look at the mirror! ٤- Suspicion on God's servants: one of the otherdisa dvanta ges of seclusion and dissociation is suspicion onpeople, and in fact this is one of the effects of" vanity" whichinvolves such people, because after being affected by" severeconceit" and extremist belief on oneself and not observing anappropriate reaction from people( appreciation and gratitude asmuch as such people expect ), this idea is gradually formed inthem that people are engaged in mistake, ill- will, misunder standing, prejudice, and disregard to values in theirjudgment and such people being ungrateful, partial, anddisregardful to virtues are vicious, astray and deviated and donot deserve any association and communication.

As such, seclusion itself is a factor for intensification ofseclusion and support of this mentality and more isolation frompeople.

٥- Peevishness and anger: Dissociable people are peevish andangry, and they are very intolerant of disturbing encounters withpeople. They may be disturbed by observing a little harshness orhearing a sentence against their desire, and so called lose theirtemper, and show offensive and rigorous reactions. Although, this is not a generality, but it is observed in several cases.

In contrast, associable people are often gentle and goodtempered and become angry less often.

The reason is obvious. Patience and tolerance is usuallyacquired through exercise and facing with unpleasing events andthe spirit getting accustomed to them, and since social life isnaturally accompanied with disturbing encounters, mangradually becomes patient.
