The nature of the dilemma can be stated in a three-word sentence: “I am lonely”. Let me emphasize, however, that by stating “I am lonely”, I do not intend to convey to you the impression that I am alone. I, thank GOD, do enjoy the love and friendship of many. I meet people, talk, preach, argue, reason; I am surrounded by comrades and acquaintances. And yet, companionship and friendship do not alleviate the passional experience of loneliness which trails me constantly.
