Although it’s not classified as a disease, loneliness is prevalent among us in great numbers. It is a silent disease since the lonely have no one to turn to. The lonely sit and stare at a TV, wait for the phone to ring, or wait for someone to knock at their door. Do you know a lonely, isolated person? Stop by to say hi. Bring him/her a surprise. It doesn’t take much to make a difference and lighten the load of feeling lonely.
