"Alienation from others, which results in loneliness, is actually a projection of alienation from the self. When you end the alienation from the self, then joy enters, and the sense of alienation just evaporates. Because after all, alienation from others is not just a matter of leading a lonely life and not being very social. At the heart of alienation is the feeling of unconnectedness and separateness."
from Waling in Beauty by Richard Olney
