Lonely Nation

LONELY NATION

In bleak nursing homes and vibrant college dorms, in crowded cities and spread-out suburbs, Americans confront an ailment with no single cause or cure.

Nation Lonely

This makes me profoundly sad. It seems no group is exempt from loneliness, from college students to the elderly. The article states lack of time as the culprit, but I feel it is a lack of what we place value on. What is more important, people or money? Isn't making money what most people spend most of their time doing? I'm not being judgemental, I too am guilty of choosing to do other things, rather than connecting with people. This is a wake-up call for me.

Lonely Nation Health & Special Psychology

Yes, we are a lonely nation. I have written several eloquent poems on this topic.

I believe the disease is rampant capitalism. People are out for money and for indvidual gain they forget to love others.
