You probably like to spend a lot of time with your family and friends, but there are also times when you want to get away from people and just be alone for a while. Maybe after a long day of being with friends and talking to people, you will go into your own room, shut the door, and just be by yourself for a short time. This is a special place that no one else can enter; then after a while, you’re ready to go back out and be among people again. We say that a peace like this is private, and that you go there whenever you need some privacy. When another person comes into the room to see you before you’re ready, you feel angry because that person is taking away your privacy.
