PS

In the old village cultures of Asia, loneliness was never a problem. Everyone was interested in his neighbours’ business especially of the old and the sick. In the newly emerging cities like Colombo, Sri Lanka, loneliness is now emerging as a problem. The rush to make money and more of it, is the cause. Once money is grasped at as the aim in life, it is a never ending ascending spiral with no destination. Loneliness, sorrow and misery follow.
