DWQA QuestionsCategory: Problems in SocietyThere can be different kinds of loneliness. No matter how good marriage is, for instance, most men still want to spend quality time with their buddies on occasion and can become quite restless if this is denied for too long. Or the woman who adores children, but needs time with adults too, or she will begin to stress out. Humans seem to need real variety in order to have lives of high satisfaction. What is Creator’s perspective on this?

Again, these examples illustrate quite vividly that humans are routinely experiencing a shortfall in the level of satisfaction they are deriving from human contact in their daily lives. Once again, this has a fundamental origin in the disconnection from the divine and from one another inflicted on you by the makeup of the physical human. So everyone is operating under a deficit and some will feel this more keenly than others. You are so far from being able to experience joy and bliss, even when having a loving and devoted spouse to your liking, that over time this becomes often a quest that leads to seeking novelty of interactions and the variety you speak of and these are a kind of consolation prize. Not that they are faulty or lesser, just that inevitably they will be in some ways more of a stopgap than a final answer enabling people to have a sense of completion in their lives where they are fully satisfied and never feel there is a lack of something that leaves them with a sense of loneliness at times. So these are natural attempts to fill the gap and they are a positive and healthy way to have an interchange with others to add variety, enjoyment, and the pleasures of comradery with others in group settings where one feels a sense of belonging, trust, and kinship. These are quite human and divine characteristics. There will always be yearnings for this from the soul and hence the pain of isolation in the absence of opportunities for an outlet in sharing life experience with other people.
