No man is an island states a poem by John Donne.
No man is an island,
Entire of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
God, the Creator, wired us to be connected with other humans. We do much better and our physical and mental health is better when we are connected with others.
Social media platforms do not connect us in the way God intended for us to be connected. We can be lonely in a crowd. And loneliness is prevalent in our society today.
We find purpose in being connected with others and helping them.
We should all have a place in a small group or groups. Study groups, civic clubs, book clubs, and garden clubs are just a few examples of such groups that we should find ourselves a part of.
Stay connected! It's good for the mind and the body.
