- loneliness."We
- have
- been
- so
- conditioned
- to
- want
- only
- what
- is
- easy
- and
- initially
- makes
- us
- feel
- good
- that
- we
- have
- neglected
- the
- soft
- underbelly,
- that
- part
- of
- life
- that
- is
- difficult
- and
- makes
- us
- uncomfortable,
- but
- in
- the
- end
- has
- the
- ability
- to
- connect
- us
- to
- what
- is
- real,"
