Leaving Loneliness Behind to Embrace the Sacredness of Solitude
Loneliness is not something only some specific groups of people suffer from, but to which others are immune. It is not inherently about being alone, and it does not belong solely to the elderly, the disabled or the shy. In fact, it is one of the most common human feelings, but one which most of us deny having fiercely. Perhaps we deny it because, most experts’ articles seem to suggest, most people think that to be lonely you must be doing something wrong or have something wrong with you.
