There are so many problems in the world that it’s overwhelming. My main worry is the loneliness pandemic because it’s personal, people die from being lonely. Some people are never going to find a genuine connection because of all the manipulation
Discussion
I agree with that, I struggled a lot growing up with being alone because I moved a ton. I then listened to The Anatomy of Loneliness (which change a lot for me). Tech is making communication easier but reducing the quality of friendships/relationships because it allows us to have more relationships (quantity vs quality). So many have become opportunist. Our values are pretty much gone and it is depressing. I have a few friends that died from loneliness. I really wish all the problems could go away but I guess that is not realistic
A great read or listen.
Well said. I’m bittersweet about this, I hate to see the world in the state it’s in, but if it weren’t for the pain, I wouldn’t have become the man I am today. Thank you for the book recommendation I needed something to get into
