I think its due to the fact that we have so much stimulation with technology and connecting with a large number of people the way we do now that our brains simply cannot compute and we don't understand its unnatural for the human mind to work the way its required to in the modern world.
The modern day stress is triggering survival instricts we don't use and has affects on our bodies we don't think about or rather understand. Its almost simulating the feeling of being in danger and never giving our bodies time to rest and recouperate nor our minds.
It really is like one crazy rat race and we don't see the fact that we can get off and hop on at any time. We're fixated on certain goals or material prizes
That's for sure, @chekohler))
I think it looks like agony. We are so lost to ourselves in these concerns, plans and achievements until the next increase in work that we no longer become soberly aware of the mechanisms of this world and our own needs. In this race, we feel that our strength is running out, but we don’t want to stop, so we are ready to run in different directions and believe in any “medicine” that will restore our strength (and moral strength) as quickly as possible and that we don’t have to do that long stops.
