A kind of miser, he needs no one and is not needed. But sometimes you have to make these things happen or try a last time. I have a good example of that. It's about siblings that hadn't talked for decades, inside they really did want to. "To the own self be true and let the chips fall where they may!"

Heya Anaya, oh much worse than a miser, uses others as doormats and tools rather than equal human beings, I agree this often happens with families too, in the end the solipsist is simply treated with the same contempt they treated others with, and dies alone, cheers David

Don't think his grave will have many flowers, in time when people mention him, other's will say who?. Some people are so far up their own backsides and care for no one but themselves. I avoid them like the plague. Tom

Indeed Tom, but why do some people wait til on their deathbed, to finally concede they were wrong about others deserving to be recognised as equals, thanks for stopping by, cheers David
