it visits every human at some point in time, in every culture,every race, every class and every age, we are social animals, needing each other to bond, to connect to love.
I'm only lonely when I miss someone. The sound of their voice, the warmth of their arms. I have had years and years of contact and communication. I love my alone time. Even when I feel loneliness, it is a feeling.

Loneliness is a condition of human life, an experience of being human which enables the individual to sustain, extend and deepen his humanity. Efforts to overcome or escape the existential experience of loneliness can only result in self-alienation. When man is removed from the fundamental truth of life, when he successfully evades and denies the terrible loneliness of individual existence, he shuts himself off from the one significant avenue of self growth.

loneliness is an emotion people feel when they yearn for company, within their hearts... it has two parts to it..
the emotional/spiritual part, and a physical part, many of us don't get as lonely emotionally, because we have GOD with us in our hearts'.. But we all get lonely from time to time with physical loneliness.. because it is through touch, that allows us to feel comfort, and comfort on the outside, can help soothe the soul inside...JMO
