As we continue to abstract our environment with replacements for reality, we are creating a void that drives loneliness in our culture. The phone, email, instant messaging, text messaging, or blogging ;) does not replace our need for human connection. Nothing can replace the benefits of another person's touch as they rest their hand on your arm or their smile in response to a comment or their actual voice in a conversation. Not to mention a good ol' fashioned long hug! Don't forget the reason you're human-- it's easy to lose sight of that in this fast-paced world. Don't be afraid to reach out to someone else if you see they need it.
