Loneliness is a difficult subject to address because it has such negative connotations. But
the truth is that wherever there are people there is loneliness: everyone is lonely at some
point in their lives. You can belonely in a crowd or at home outdoors or in an empty church
and countless songs have been written about the condition. For many people loneliness can
significantly impact their quality of life and their physical and mental health. At the same
time our best moments can come when we are alone and this can tell us something important
about our place in the world.
