"Loneliness is the price we have to pay for being born in this modern age, so full of freedom, independence, and our own egotistical selves" (pg 30, Sensei).
This quote truly connects to our generation, in my opinion due to the advancement of technology. Technology just increases our independence and freedom because we are now allowed to connect with people without actually having that face to face connection. We can be this completely different person online, later affecting how we feel about ourselves when we have to deal with reality. I also believe that this is the big factor in depression and why many people in this generation feel lonely and become depressed.
