For a sensitive person privacy is a need. And if he also happens to be both a scholar and a writer--without mentioning a meditator--then it becomes a very real need. The irony is that, the modern world being as it is, his possession of it depends on material things, that the only way to assure it is to have money; the more money the more is privacy possible--and such a person is the least likely to accumulate money.
