Human development is so stunted BECAUSE people measur themselves by capitalist or marketarian values (do I have a good job? income? good looking spouse? etc? etc?)
People are so sick because society is bordering on insane.

Thse were people sick of modern society and how modern society was controlling their lives and how they had no time to establish relationships with people. The poster was asking : How to deal with loneliness, and we were giving him/her advice.
You should always take advice from people who've EXPERIENCED much worse then you and made a comeback... I have a quote from General Patton of the US ARMY and it's wonderful he said:
"I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom." General George S. Patton
