I think we should never be alone.
In this modern world, if we are alone, media will haunt our minds
cinema , TV, phone, laptop, magazines, newspapers all these provoke lust.
The problem is, all these media show
1.provoking pictures of lusty, characterless women, posing in skimpy clothes.
2. sex between a man and woman.
Once a man watches the above, no one can save him from falling down.
He will immediately masturbate, while fantasizing those prostitutes.
In the past, ment were hunting prostitutes.
But now prostitutes (pictures) are constantly hunting men's minds.
Open laptop, open tv, immediately prostitutes are just one click away..
They are pictures only. But very very dangerous to men.
They simply occupy men's minds, throw them into imaginary world of sex.
Porn is very dangerous. watching sex bw a man and woman, is very dangerous.
This is the root cause of falldown of good men. ( eg. Ajamila in Bhagavatham ).
One more thing is the company of evil men.
Ofcourse, in the modern world, 90% are evilminded and selfish.
It is very difficult to find good men.
The problem is if we are alone, media will hunt us.
If we want to find good friends, that is also mostly not possible.
Conclusion,
Some how, we should avoid 1. media
2. loneliness
