Everything is on demand, everything is pre-chewed, and they have been told that their feelings are the most important thing in the world.
When things like this happen. There needs to be a war. Because war makes new generation stronger physically. And depression and the inflation in the market make them strong mentally. This is what most of the people has to do in order to grow. Because this generation born after 2000 would not be raising any strong soldiers, nor mentally strong managers. They'd just pamper each others feelings and love each other verbally meanwhile incidents like pandemic will wipe them out easily.
I agree (unfortunately) that it seems that if we want to be better, we have to suffer enough. Propping ourselves up to reduce suffering, can mean that we don't get to the point where something has to be done.
