The dream of escaping the noise of the cities. It's possible? Silence as a rare commodity.
Who doesn't dream of their own desert island? I have imagined her since I read Robinson Crusoe, when I was twelve years old. For someone with this kind of fantasy, it is surprising to discover that England has a Ministry of Loneliness. Nine million Britons felt lonely and that this is a worse health risk factor than smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. The Red Cross already considers loneliness to be a “silent epidemic” and global. According to the German network DW, one in three French adults lives alone and 12% of the population of that country lacks social relationships of any kind. Berlin's statistics are so high that it is beginning to be called “the Capital of L loneliness” In Europe, those who suffer the most from loneliness are the elderly; In the US, it's young people. Generation Z reports very low rates of social interaction in real life and very high rates of depression and anxiety.
