We are creating a society that is totally aggrieved at the very same time it is totally unforgiving.

@thomaschattwill I saw a fantastic quote from someone on twitter but I don’t remember who it was. “There is something unsustainable about a world that demands constant atonement but is against the very idea of forgiveness”.

@thomaschattwill Ingratitude is the problem. When you don't know how good you have it, and have been taught you're "entitled" to even MORE, you can't be grateful, and when you can't be grateful, you can't be happy.

@thomaschattwill “You can’t possibly understand my lived experience” stands in unstable superposition with “Listen to my unique voice”.

@thomaschattwill Lack of religious belief, i.e., higher order beliefs re: how one should behave is one of the causes, probably the most pressing one. Believers have a standard to adhere to, know when they're out of line & failing to adhere to ideals. They know how to make adjustments & amends.

@thomaschattwill True, and the amplifier is that we are constantly aware of everyone’s grievance, and their refusal to forgive

@thomaschattwill We could do better. I think we have lost sight of what is most important and are putting too much of our personally sovereignty into the collectivist thinking. Ie We can’t improve until the government changes in x.
