I watched NHK BS Premium Humanience "Friendship: The Invention of Collective Living."

One of the guests said, "In the old days, we used to confirm our friendship by punching each other,

"Poor guy. He must have a broken brain, too."

Thinking that I was watching the program.

However, I was stunned to hear that 'loneliness generates physical pain.

I have unfounded confidence that I can 'manage' when it comes to loneliness, but I'm not good at all anymore when it comes to 'pain.'

-----

"To avoid physical pain, I have to accept the tedious process of "making friends.""

Now I am immersed in a pessimistic resolve.
