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”.

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.

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.

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.
