Introduction:

                When pope road his work he had the idea of Solitude that is loneliness in his mind, as do a great many poets who expressed        themselves best through the return word and perhaps less so in the company of others. Solitude itself is an important thing to attend from time to time, and perhaps it makes the sense to think of one of pops oldest poem as being about a very basic human desire.

Alex and pop says real happiness come from being satisfied with that you have an enjoying the simple things in life. The man and the poem is happy watching Timepass peacefully, sleeping well at night, and having time for both work and play during the day.
