While reading about the life of an inmate at a local state penitentiary, the topic of loneliness caught my attention. The small concrete walls kept this man from communicating with others, and the cell didn’t allow him to shake hands, give high fives or hug anyone. He went on to say that this was the worst thing about being incarcerated. My thoughts then turned to truck drivers. You may not live in a small concrete cell, but you do live in an eight foot by eight foot steel box for hours a day and weeks on end. This, too, can become very lonely at times. Look for ways to continue your communication with others, not only for your sake, but for theirs as well. Comment here.
