I'm strongly aware there is a growing stigma among my community. With more and more locks in place upon emotions and such, it's getting harder for humans to develop.
What do you think?
Here's my ideology of today's society.
1) There are not enough mentors that stay on the path.
2) There are more and more questions around the fragility of our beloved mile high societal standards.
3) Children are having a harder time learning to evolve emotionally, due to what used to be free in terms of expression is being either countered or completely knocked to the floor. Any child that acts of out of line is asked to leave their society by the head/professor/coach.
What does this do in a child or even an adult? Misplaced aggression is at the top of the list in my opinion. The idea of being nice in order to get by wears on even the youngest and untainted of souls. The need to attack even the smallest of issues in someone becomes more of a reality. What is drama to us, is reality to them. They can't see that in all aspects it will be trivial, but to them it's like they need to make a point. The misplaced aggression turns to passive aggression or explosive aggression. What used to thought to be a good person, all the sudden turns into a rigged arse and starts being a cynic about everything in people.
All it takes is one drop of toxicity to enter the body and then boom, some one is spreading rumors and trying to achieve things at your expense. Honesty seems to be avoided as long as there is a smile still on the snakes face as they say.
Those kids are turning into adults where they go off to the military or go off the the corporate world. Those adults in the corporate world are now becoming your bosses. Where again, you trusted them with their smile, but in turn they turn out to be a vindictive person where everyone now sees them as insensitive. All because of why? The way they grew up and reacted to locking down emotions.
You probably are asking, "Shu, what the hell do you mean by locking someone's emotions.. that's not technically possible?"
Here's what I mean:
1) An adult tells a child to stop crying when they are sick/hurt. (the parent might have a headache because of a long day)
2) An adult tells a child/teenager they are doing well in something, but in fact they are not. Wrongful rewarding leads to someone only trying at the bare minimum. It makes them feel good, but if they are always told they are good, what do they base their goals in?
3) A Boss gives their employee a gift of monetary value at work as an incentive for doing well, when in fact it's to keep them there. By most HR policies this is against the rule unless it's via employer.
4) Medicating a child for something before trying to understand their actual problem. Do you know how many adults now are on Aderol and such drugs, due the inability to be without now?
Each of these had a play on emotions and locking them. It carries into adolescence and into adulthood as well. So again, what's your take? Do you think this generation has a huge issue with misplaced anger?
If so, why or why not?
