Isolation
“Freedom is the possibility of isolation. You are free if you can withdraw from people, not having to seek them out for the sake of money, company, love, glory or curiosity, none of which can thrive in silence and solitude. If you can’t live alone, you were born a slave.”
And here is the original:
“A liberdade é a possibilidade do isolamento. És livre se podes afastar-te dos homens, sem que te obrigue a procurá-los a necessidade de dinheiro, ou a necessidade gregária, ou o amor, ou a glória, ou a curiosidade, que no silêncio e na solidão não podem ter alimento. Se te é impossível viver só, nasceste escravo.” (Fernando Pessoa).

🙂 Actually I have quoted it twice, as you can see in this post I would like you to check out 😉 https://bopaula.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/likes-dislikes-rates-indifference-awards-votes. I almost never ask people to go and see some post of mine, but I am doing it here now cause I have a feeling you might like it, and it says a lot about how I feel about WP interaction between bloggers.

Already read that one.. I do understand your point of view.
I made a post of “awarding” the blogs I follow which inspire me. Sometimes I need another person’s point of view to get inspired. It was my way of thanking those nominating me for stuff.
And yes, wanting to achieve false popularity and so on, it does exist in the blogosphere just like in real life.
But then again, as they say: sto ljudi, sto ćudi 🙂
