Loneliness is a illusion of mind. The Reality is Aloneness. To feel lonely simply means you're not okay with the present moment and want to fill it with something else everytime your mind calms down. But when you overcome this illusion by becoming conscious of your underlying emotions, you for the first time realize that your real nature is aloneness, a state where you're drunk with the Silence inside.
I agree with you, @mysticonwheels.
As mentioned in the article, sometimes it is good to be alone. That said, we are social creatures and we do need tender and meaningful contact with other beings.
Cheers! : )
