What does living alone mean in times of Corona?
Even though the Duden dictionary defines "alone" and "lonely" as synonyms, most people distinguish in their language use positively alone and negatively lonely. For a long time there was the image of the scholar who, in the solitude of his ivory tower, surrenders to thinking and can only become creative in this way. This romantic form of loneliness belongs to the human being just as much as being together.
