OK I can see what both you and J_E are saying. But let me ask this is loneliness in the creature a sin or an emotion? The same goes for the term dissatisfied?
Loneliness nor dissatisfaction is a sin, in and of itself. One can be and should be dissatisfied with their lack of godliness, expressions of love to others, faithlessness in speaking the truth when opportunities arise, etc. One can also be lonely in regard to wanting to see Christ face-to-face and yearn for the day when they can walk in gladness with God on the New Earth. One can also be lonely if one's loved one is away for any period of time, etc.

Perhaps this article will help to explain this more: Discontentment by Guy Finnie.

In His Grace,
