Most businesses these days need to first pay their staff proper wages that they can live on and also use to stimulate the economy properly from the ground up. It's not a disorder to be miserable and alienated by a society that grinds you up for usually, these days, pointless things like endless marketing or call centre work and seeing that you're just making ever increasing, vast profits for an increasing number of billionaires who run the world now. On top of which, no-mater how much or how many jobs you work, you still can't even afford a basic house. Just for a very rudimentary frame of reference here, working in special forces, you're making a huge difference to society and other's lives, saving lives and so on. In most other jobs today, you're helping shovel billions into some executives offshore tax-dodging accounts and investments while for your hard work being trampled on, ignored and paid nothing. I'm not sitting here wallowing in self-pity, by the way, for those who might just avoid the problem by thinking along those lines. I'm aware of all this, I do what I can to help others and raise awareness of mental health and related issues in society and I maintain "cheerfulness in the face of adversity". But for this comment, I am focusing on a very glaring problem we have as a society, which modern technology and so on is being used to worsen and not change, solve or improve at all. Foxy is 100% right, but what he is talking about also needs to be applied to society as a whole, not just individuals. Society needs to also check in with itself regularly, which it basically never does, yet we now have vast technological capabilities and interconnectedness - the tools human beings have evolved and developed over millennia for the very purpose of changing and improving society for all, and for coming together better and better. Meanwhile, another aspect is the business of media, which now just does anything and says whatever it wants to simply cause trouble and turn us against each other - why? Because that kind of news gets you clicking and giving them advertising revenue. Simple as. All this right v left, ranting about woke liberal pc brigades, arguing over climate change, arguing over everything is big business making billions and billions from causing trouble and this is also massively damaging and hindering social progress, humanity's potential for immense teamwork and problem solving.
Totally agree. Most people are stressed because they can’t afford to live. Then they go to work and think why am I working this hard, only to still struggle for money
