Loneliness does not decrease when you connect to a thousand other people using technology. Loneliness is a thing within. Irrespective of how many people you are connected to in a party or via Zoom, loneliness is not going to decrease. It’s just that when you are in a party, loneliness gets obfuscated, hidden. It does not decrease.
So, it’s not that if technology is great it would reduce your loneliness. Loneliness reduces through wisdom. Loneliness is reduced when you understand. Where there is wisdom, loneliness does not find a place.
