Often, in a materialistic culture such as ours, a person is valued in terms of their net worth and an encounter is valued in terms of its networking potential. This creates a vast void in the hearts of those of us who are living in this society. For we are relating to one another as though people were objects. Our disconnectedness from one another is no small matter and must be considered when we look at how alone many of us feel and how desperately we are longing for love.
