Recently, I’ve been unable to stop thinking about the state of our collective psychology. A mass of ideas and possibilities of what the future could look like has been swirling and crystallizing in my mind. I’d like to try and paint it here. This is the gist of it:
Beautifully written - really loved the concept of the heavy 'quilt' of beliefs.
I know from our lived experience that they have started teaching some emotional processing tools to our children living in Prince Edward Island, Canada - things like labelling emotions, how to process emotions, yoga, stress-relief, etc. so possibly there is hope for the future - unfortunately they will likely need so many of these tools as they become a generation marked by social isolationism caused through living with COVID.
I loved the theme of cooperation and helpfulness that your article proposes and I truly hope and 'pray' that we do come closer together as a society realizing that we are indeed all in this big beautiful mess together. Unfortunately so much of the past five to six years have been about division and protest and anarchy instead of dialogue, conversation and growth.
Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and caring article.
