Bath time epiphany

[quintessentone]

We as parents can only do so much then it's up to them to adapt to their world, if they can. Not everyone can be painted with the same brush so while some can handle whatever is thrown at them and come out a Phoenix, others may have other issues that trample them down and without any real help out there in the real world, they remain in the smoldering ashes

Just my 2 sense worth.

While I can definitely agree with that (surprised?) that doesn't really explain the vast number of "victims" that have taken over a large chunk of current society today. I have witnessed people who I have known for their entire lives who never had that mentality in the past jump on the bandwagon in the past few years. I believe the programming really began in earnest with the Millennials and has gone ballistic in recent years with older adults with attention seeking issues jumping into the fray for social media popularity (a different mental health pandemic that deserves its own thread). Everything under the sun is labeled as "trauma" or "abuse" and even a passing feeling of nervousness or sadness is now labeled as "anxiety" or "depression" and drugs are prescribed for it like candy. You don't even have to go to an actual doctor or therapist anymore there are apps for that! Just say what your Facebook friend tells you to say and you can brag on Instagram with pics of your new med bottles and announce your "mental illness" too so you can blame others for all of your shortcomings and get a dopamine burst from "likes" in the process! This is what is happening and is socially acceptable now.

The younger and upcoming generations are royally screwed and who knows what the toxins in the environment are doing to their bodies. Are they victims, I'd say 'yes' you bet they are victims of TPTB that don't give a damn about anyone else but themselves.
