The modern philosopher says many of us find our own company 'frightening'
'Being on your own is for many people not just a bit boring, it's positively frightening,'he said. 'It's horrible because you're in danger of stumbling on bits of information that will require pain in one way or another. The pain of mourning, the pain of needing to take action, the pain of realising that life isn't what you want it to be.'
'If we’re looking for how to cure or solve the problem of loneliness, what we have to start with is changing what being on your own means. In a way, at times all of us can feel quite comfortable being on our own, but other times it’s anguishing, so let’s look at what goes on when it’s anguishing. He went on to make the point that 'in bad company, as we all know, we can feel more alone than we do on our own' because it 'reminds us so forcefully of what we would ideally want from another human being and it’s not available'.
