"Loneliness is the price we have to pay for being born in this modern age, so full of freedom, independence, and our own egotistical selves." (page 30, Sensei)
I definitely agree with this quote to an extent. In my everyday life, I am frequently lonely even though I am surrounded by people in school. Everybody is always on their phones instead of talking or hanging out with each other. I am guilty of this as well, because if nobody wants to talk and is on their phones, I will not bother them. Even though this world is very advanced, I do not believe it is all great like people explain it to be. We are definitely "together" but "alone".
