EMPATHY

Utter lack of empathy towards the plight of fellow citizens. A herd mentality can be leveraged to mobilize anger towards any individual or section of society.

A society that is discontent with its own life, looking for an opportunity to blame something for all its failings and unrealized dreams.

A society that despises anyone of higher stature than them intellectually or monetarily.

The root cause for this mental sickness could be our education system, which focuses solely on scoring more marks than the person sitting next.

Lessons of sharing, caring, collective growth, and teamwork hold no value. Education institutions push archaic ideas in the name of so-called “values”.

    You are absolutely correct when you say “a society that is discontent with its own life.” Happy people don’t blame or begrudge others.

    We as a country suffer from what I call too much democracy where my problem is the society’s problem, but society’s problems arent mine. Seeing the anarchy thats reigning everywhere, I wish India had its own version of Lee Kuan Yew who successfully transformed Singapore from a maritime outpost to a thriving city state that is notches above us in every aspect.
