“Isolation is the sum total of wretchedness to a man.” - Thomas Carlyle
"Social Isolation Growing in U.S." - Shankar Vedantam, Washington Post, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/22/AR2006062201763.html
This article is a study on how Americans are feeling more and more isolated over the past couple decades. The article states that a quarter of Americans feel they have no one with whom they can discuss personal problems. This article paints a picture that is a little scary to think about. The nation as a whole has dropped the amount of close friends they can depend on, and are increasingly working more and cutting out the people important to them. People don't realize that they are isolating themselves.
