Have you ever heard someone say, " she's nice and all but she has so much drama" " oh, she's got so much drama" " I am staying away, she's got too much going on" " oh, I can only be around happy people, not people with drama"
Have we possibly abandoned our friends and family when they most need it? In times of drama and stress.
Listen when you are out and people are talking. No one wants to deal with the ugly in life but the ugly in life is going to happen, we can't stop it.
In the age of YOLO ( you only live once) FOMO ( fear of missing out) and a quest for beauty and permanent youth, we may have never grown out of adolescence. We don't want to be old, we don't want to be near the old ( be it people , cars or homes) and we discard the old to bring in the new.
We seem to be blindly running away from what we think is sad and just doesn't suite us. People leave their long term marriages , men usually want to trade their partners for a younger model and " do over". In their 50s men feel they can start over as if they were 30. This is slightly different for women since there is an end to childbearing, however, there is the knife and surgery can help them make changes.
So every action has a consequence. We have and continue to create a world where we are not just hurting the environment with the garbage we produce but we are creating societal garbage. We have taken our souls and just threw them out. We don't empathize or even sympathize. We say " oooh, that is too sad, best not get involved"
We need to get out the mindset that we "must remain positive" "we must avoid drama". While I don't recommend we go find toxic people for hang outs, I do think we need to get out of ourselves and reach out to help others. In the circle of life, I help you, you help him, he helps another and we all play a role in making this life a more meaning healthy place to be.
Peace.
