A Cure for Disconnection

Came across a great article on loneliness in our modern society, how technology makes us lonelier than ever, and what we can do to build more meaningful relationships.

Loneliness hurts, and loneliness kills. After reading this, I hope to put more thought and effort into building and maintaining quality relationships in my life.

I think that sentence sums up quite a bit. The feeling of loneliness, and its impact on our health, cannot be gauged simply by how many people we have in our lives. It is sad, but true, that we can be surrounded by people and still feel alone. The cure for loneliness isn't just to be around others, but we must create meaningful interaction and connection with them. This is why popular kids (not speaking from experience) can be the most isolated. When everyone wants to be your friend superficially, it can be hard to find deep relationships.
