``Loneliness is a product of modern lifestyle``

The fast-paced modern life, where we often ignore the value of commitment to others, is a "recipe for loneliness", suggests the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney.

Sydney: The fast-paced modern life, where we often ignore the value of commitment to others, is a "recipe for loneliness", suggests the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney.
Preaching at the Easter service at St Andrew`s Cathedral, Dr Peter Jensen said several people lacked the presence of ``a significant other person`` in their lives. ``It is what I would expect and what we all may expect to occur and what we have embraced as a society. Our secularist philosophy emphasises the individual and individual entitlements and invites us to invent our own lives and it considerably undervalues the importance of commitment to other human beings," a news daily quoted him, as saying. Dr Jensen added: ``Far fewer people have a deep friend. This modern cultural mood is a recipe for loneliness and a path to a lonely old age.`` ANI
