So You’re Not A Sociopath. Now What? (part 1)

Do you feel deeply while the world appears to keep chasing whatever the world chases? Do all of your dear people seem ready to move on? 

Your friends understand that one has to be at least a little numb to either survive or succeed. They may not, however, be insensitive as much as desensitized. They are headed for the day when they can take time to heal. That healing will fix their relationships, their family, their fitness, and eventually, their emotions.

Who will mediate that healing? A therapist? Their faith? Something else?

In some cases, they expect healing that will come through private ownership, production, and profit. I mean, what could be more therapeutic than more private property? 

The world is chasing wholeness. It’s an illusion, though, when we rush past the present to get there. Think about the last time you held deep sorrow. What did you do with it? Did your friends stop what they were doing to come to share the burden? Did your friends even know you had a burden? 

They might not have time to drop everything to help you process even if they did know because they are obligated to get back in the chase.

But what if we didn’t have to pick ourselves up alone so much?
