    something that would, for 5 or 6 hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world=transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution=then, it seems to me, all our problems {and not mrely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure} would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise

    Aldous Huxley

    Leading onto....

    I dropped a penny
    Ooh I dropped a penny
    What'd I do about that
    I tell you what I do
    I tell a dog to shoo
    I'll pick up a penny
    without touching dog poo.

    This sounds to me, like two people sharing thoughts and cares on the internet, or the phone, for 5 or 6 hours a day. Feeling good about themselves, and having their day brightened because of it, thereby making the people in each of their lives a little happier because these two are spreading the good feelings they got earlier in the day, from each other.
