A Different Kind of Loneliness
The loneliness many of us experience has nothing to do with the presence or absence of other people. The loneliness I’m speaking of is a symptom of not feeling at home in ourselves. Our remedy for that is to be with other people. The only reason that seems to work is because when we’re with other people, we lose ourselves in our co-joined presence. When that happens, we don’t feel lonely because we experience being something bigger than ourselves.
