A Movement Against Loneliness

The most painful way to die is to die alone.

Maybe Durkheim and Simmel were correct, albeit indirectly.



Loneliness, I believe, is the root cause of all social and psychological ills in modern society. We spend our entire lives writing songs about it, trying hard to avoid being plagued by it, admire people who somehow don't seem to be bothered about it.



An effective social movement, therefore, must target this strand of disorder, without trying too hard. A musical band must create awareness through references to this pain without sinking into the mire of despondency. A motivational author or speech writer must throw forth eloquent phrases depicting the emptiness circling a crying need within. An artist must paint depression with a glimmer of hope amidst the crushing silence.




People must know that they matter, that they fill an essential role in the grand plans of an invisible will tunneling towards to an apocalyptic end.






That, they were purposefully created for a reason grander than their imaginations could ever project.







Music was invented to confirm human loneliness. -Lawrence Durrell

Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. -David (Psalm 25:16)
