Lina Abujamra lives life alone and has never had a sexual encounter, but she insists there's no reason to feel bad for her.
"It's a lie in our culture that if you're not in a romantic relationship, you're less there -- [that] you haven't fulfilled your full potential as a human," the Pediatric ER doctor said in a HuffPost Live interview Thursday.
The devout Christian subsequently lives her life without "every connection" -- emotional, physical and sexual -- as a means of establishing her belief in "something greater."
"I believe in a higher reason for living," she said. "I believe I'm on this earth for a purpose. I believe that there's a thing for me to do here on this earth -- I'm not just here to get a job, have three kids and die. I think that's very glum in some ways."
