The article proposes that the source of a person's feeling of loneliness is a person's lack of a sense of meaning/significance/purpose.
On an interesting note; the community I intend on creating (once community creation opens up) is one where philosophical discourse may be had about matters meaning/significance/purpose. I have made posts in this community outlining attitude, approach, and perspective of the community i intend on creating. So, if you’re interested in having such type of philosophical discourse, look me up when community creation opens up. And if you’re creating a community that intends to discuss meaning/significance/purpose of existence as such, let me know in the comments! I will look you up when community creation opens up, and will join the community you create.
This article explores a Harvard study on loneliness in America, revealing that 75% of lonely people feel their lives lack meaning or purpose. The author suggests that the issue may not be a lack of connection, but a lack of significance and communion. The article discusses the difference between connection and communion, and how modern life has made it difficult to find meaning through participation in something larger than the self.
