“I have always been able to recognize the lonely. They don't walk the same way as other people. It is as if they don't carry any joy, any spark within themselves, whether they are women or men. I am looking for a word for the opposite of loneliness. I would like to find a different word to love, which is far too overworked and inadequate. Tenderness, peace of mind and soul, togetherness?” — Karl Ove Knausgård

I have always been able to recognize the lonely. They don't walk the same way as other people. It is as if they don't carry any joy, any spark within themselves, whether they are women or men. I am looking for a word for the opposite of loneliness. I would like to find a different word to love, which is far too overworked and inadequate. Tenderness, peace of mind and soul, togetherness?
