The biggest challenge we humans face today is the coronavirus.
But there are other challenges we have been living with. And one of them is that we were never told that ‘we are unique.’ Understanding that we are unique and we each have come into this world with the beauty of our unique minds, unique faces, unique intelligence is important. One of the reasons for our unhappiness is that we yearn to be like some else. And usually that someone is a movie star or a billionaire. Nothing wrong with being a movie star or having wealth. But something is drastically wrong when teens start emulating designer clothes and bags without actually working hard for them. The child then yearns for a lifestyle we are bombarded with forever feels inadequate in comparison even as an adult. Another reason why we are unhappy is that we don’t have role models whose values or behavior we can emulate, whose values can teach us.
