Whether or not you believe God exists, we know you want your life to have purpose and meaning. It’s a fundamental<br />
hunger in each of us to be breathing for a reason other than getting to the next payday-to feel like<br />
our lives are moving in a particular direction, that someone cares about us.<br />
So let’s assume for a minute that you’re ready to believe in the existence of God.<br />
If God made this world in all its complexity and beauty, and then He made youdon’t<br />
you think that means He wants you to be here? Why would He bother going<br />
to all that trouble if you weren’t important? Don’t you think it means your life has a<br />
purpose?<br />
So what is it? Well, that’s the part of this journey that you’ll have to discover for<br />
yourself. You’ll need to come to terms with who you are, then how you relate to<br />
God, and how you function as part of God’s larger purpose in the world. We’re all<br />
unique and have a special role to play. But now’s the time to start thinking about it<br />
and figuring out how you fit into God’s world.<br />
It takes time, so don’t get impatient. The process will lead you on a faith journey<br />
that eventually will help you answer your personal questions of purpose and<br />
meaning.<br />

Loneliness is an epidemic<br />
Click to Listen<br />
In recent decades, social isolation has been recognised<br />
as a major risk to our health and longevity. It’s<br />
twice as bad for you as being obese and nearly as<br />
bad as smoking. The rising number of people who<br />
say they are affected, across a wide range of ages, is<br />
startling. Yet obvious mechanisms – such as selfneglect<br />
– do not explain the full health toll. So what<br />
else is going on?<br />
“Can a woman forget her nursing child And<br />
have no compassion on the son of her<br />
womb? Even these may forget, but<br />
I will not forget you”.<br />
To answer this question it is worth noting that you can<br />
suffer the ill effects of loneliness even if you are not<br />
socially isolated. It is essentially an emotional state,<br />
and recognising the brain’s role is vital to understanding<br />
much of the harm that can be caused.<br />
Comedian Robin Williams made a salient observation<br />
in 2009: “I used to think the worst thing in life was to<br />
end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to<br />
end up with people who make you feel all alone.”<br />
Tracking large groups over time indicates that perceived<br />
social isolation carries its own risk for morbidity<br />
and mortality, independent of actual social isolation.<br />
What could drive this surprising effect?<br />
