RE: Thoughts from a bench | Ridin' Solo doesn´t mean being lonely
Solitary people (when they don't like it or wish it could be different) suffer a lot from loneliness... I'm not sure how or if something should be done to help these people relate or share their experiences, what I'm sure about is that anything we can do anything to fight loneliness (when it's unwanted) as best as we can!
There used to be communities of anchorites, which sounds like an oxymoron, but they lived in solitude save for some food being brought to them, usually without actual human contact.
I think we need more such sanctuaries, where one can go off-grid for an extended period. More common in Asia nowadays.
