Better together

“George Gallup Jr concluded from his studies and polls that Americans are among the loneliest people in the world. Unfortunately, for many Americans, involvement in a community of healthy relationships with others is the exception, not the rule. George Gallup Jr. referring to American isolationism writes, ‘We are physically detached from each other. We change places of residence frequently. One survey revealed that seven in ten do not know their neighbors. As many as one-third of Americans admit to frequent periods of loneliness, a key factor in the high suicide rate among the elderly. Community is not a luxury, it is a necessity for life.”
