Emotional Climate Change ?
"Fools said I, you do not know, silence like a cancer grows"
(Simon & Garfunkel: "Sounds Of Silence" 1964)
How many toxic people do you know?
How many difficult, stressed, depressed or negative people did you encounter let's say last week?
What if the number of such characters in your life was slowly but continuously growing over time? What if the number of such people you have to deal with doubled, tripled or eventually 10 folded???
We believe this is exactly what's happening in societies of developped countries across the planet right now - and it's been going on for decades already.
OK, you may say that our lives getting more stressed and depression rates rising etc. is nothing new.
But what if..
OK, everyone of us has a bad day sometimes. But some people seem to only have occasional good days - within continuously bad lives.
