This is an interesting article about loneliness and the fact that it is increasing across age groups and is being seen across the world. After reading it, I started wondering...
Artists typically work alone to create their works (writers, composers, etc. too). The article consequently suggests that we may have to work even harder to maintain a relevant community that surrrounds us -- so that art-making doesn't become an additional 'cause' for the experience of loneliness.
