When death touches our lives, we often feel a deep sense of loneliness. And when suffering enters the picture, we often feel a self-preserving urge to avoid it, even at the expense of companioning the sufferer. Our loneliness and self-preserving instincts can often stem from a recognition that in our experiences of life, we all desire true relationship and community with our neighbors, friends, and God or some other transcendent force.
