Why does the poet want to live and die stealthily from the world? How many of you would like to do so? And why?

A happy man according to the poet is he who lives a solitary life. To be in society is to be in sorrow. So he wants to live a simple life of contentment in a solitary place. Thus he will be able to enjoy sound sleep. He will get enough time for study and meditation. It is only possible in living a quiet life or a life of solitude away from the din and bustle of life. Even if he dies none should shed tears and place a stone on his grave. So he wants to die in peace unnoticed by the people, stealthily.

Very few people will like to follow the sentiments expressed by the poet. Everybody wants to enjoy the pleasure of living in this materialistic society. Nobody wants to live a solitary life. “Eat, drink and be merry” is the mentality of the people and they have no contentment. As such none is ready to live a simple life of contentment and to live in solitude.

Therefore rare persons will want to live and die stealthily.
