In solitude, we can come to the realization that we are not driven together but brought together. In solitude, we come to know our fellow human beings not as partners who can satisfy our deepest needs, but as brothers and sisters with whom we are called to give visibility to God's all-embracing love. In solitude, we discover that community is not a common ideology, but a response to a common call. In solitude, we indeed realize that community is not made but given.
