Loneliness Exist Far Longer Than We Think

Assuming we just heard from most other people talking about loneliness, that we are the loneliest generation of them all. Ok, one isn't a psychologist, but indeed, one do feel lonely, so it may be true. Again, if what the scientists and psychologists and people whom noticed it said it's true, then probably loneliness epidemic starts way longer than you'd think.

We whom born in the 90s and 00s might thought that our parents or grandparents live in a state where loneliness wasn't a problem. Wrong. In fact, this video (loneliness documentary by ColdFusion on YouTube) demonstrate that loneliness was an epidemic back in the 60s and 70s, so that includes at least our parents' generation, or even you are born at/before that time. Thing is, not sure about elsewhere, but based on books from US writers, loneliness even dated back even earlier than that.

In fact, this book (Man's Search for Himself by Rollo May), written in 1953, already talked about the rise of loneliness really quickly ever since WWII ended; and there were a "transition in state" from an older Victorian era (if one got it right, is it Victorian?) with a different culture and different aim in the late 19th century, throughout till early 20th century (after WWI, before WWII, 20s and 30s); yet author described more loneliness after the war. So probably the loneliness epidemic, after more than a century, only got worse still...

The future...
