Interesting observation from Seth Godin:
People spend money (and make money) and join organizations and invest time and enormous energy to solve this problem. Every day.
This is true when you look at the sheer number of dating sites and other means available for people to avoid being alone. Though (speaking from experience), there are, of course, some rare individuals who are the exceptions that prove the rule: who choose to be and are perfectly happy to be alone.
Lonely is not a word that figures in my vocabulary and I couldn’t even tell you what it feels like, but as unique and special as I would like to be, I simply cannot believe that I am the only odd one out. Do you think that people look for human company, because they lack other purpose and hobbies, perhaps?
Or is everyone [else] truly lonely?

Humans are social animals, and I think people are just hard-wired to want to be in intimate relationships. Personally, I like being single and living alone, but I know I’m an anomoly. Even so, I’d go nuts if I didn’t have my family and friends around.
