Is loneliness a growing problem in our society?

Question of the minute:

Is loneliness a growing problem in our society?

[Lorenzo]

Yea definitely. In this day of age, we tend to build walls. So take the time to find time to talk to a person, ask a person to a date. Kiss, hug, make up.

Hugs do wonders. imho

one of the paradoxes of modern life...

we invent a lot ways to communicate yet many are not listening.

diha siguro sa injong dapit.  pero diris bohol sigi ra man guihapon ug panumbay unja tsismis gamay.

[Lorenzo]

lol, tsismis gamay.


People over here tend to have the 'keep to myself' mode. I try to break that tho, if I meet a person, I offer them my handshake. And its a pretty firm handshake. It wakes them up.

I notice the only time really there is a big and open contact amongst Americans is when we go to church. Aside that--its back to the hum drums of work and repetition.

Church is our time to 'regenerate' our batteries . To hear much needed sermons, and words of infinite comfort. Because, sometimes, our world is just so harsh. Its good to know and be reminded that we have an All Surpassing Loving God.

Sakit na dinhi sa first world countries. Ang naka-angin ang sinahan, selos, magtandi kinsa ang daghang bahandi, dili manghilabot kay sa batasan ba sa mga Aleman, unsa man ang maako. Dugangan pa sa kina-iya nga tag-sa tagsa kita ug panginabuhi, busa ika-abot ka ug kaigog magsinamok sa lain.
Ako nagpasalamat nga aduna miy gagmay nga grupo sa mga Bol-anon, walay hipusay, weekend ug istorya, I never thought that it is very liberating and it eases our tense minds.
Thanks God for the Bol-anon barkadas.

conclusion; there is more to human relationships as mere acquisition of material needs.

Amen, Manay.

Good pood that we have our family to lean back on.
Ako, bisan na tiguwang nako, adult lalake na ko (well i say that, lol) ug ma mingaw mingaw ko--i always have the comfort of being able to just pick up the phone and call home. And hear the voice of my Mommy Liza. When she says, "Hoii 'Doy!" ma lipay man ko. I don't know why, but even when i have a really stressing/demanding day at work and studies---if i hear my mom's voice---ma wa ahongproblema.

Ug mingaw mingaw pa jud, mo web cam ra ko sa ahong mga igsoon. Kakita pood ko sa ahong igsoon--ahong amahan ug inahan. Lipay dali.

Thank God for families.

Mo tawag ko sa balay, mo ask man ko ni dad or si mom, "Mommy, unsa man inyong giluto?"

Mo tubag pood si daddy sa background noise, "Bran, ning luto humba ug adobo!"

My response: AGUY..

lol!

Love my dad.
