Well I take the view that if; "poverty is the worst form of violence" then isolation must be the worst form of torture..clearly it's about choice (free will), my contention is that people who choose to remain isolated (on a permanent basis), are very often in-fact self-harming...that there is something unreconciled between themselves and their community and, by extension, the wider society, however, people can (and some us probably should), remain isolated for years..allowing one's consciousness to obsess about the permanence of such isolation though is(imho), unhealthy ..
