The problem with the current attention given to mental health issues is that it misses the point. A society whose bottom line is competition for wealth is inherently unhealthy, and its citizens will inevitably reflect the brokenness of spirit that derives from such a lack of love

We're a species whose bottom line is competition. It's a biological survival mechanism. Consider this. cato.org/policy-report/janua…

"Society" is comprised of individuals making those decisions. Any one of us can choose to do something different with ourselves.

Competitiveness is the engine of prosperity and opportunity. More people have been lifted out of extreme poverty due to capitalism's superior ability to harness this human trait than any other system conceived by mankind.

A large portion of this Country worships a mentally ill ex President and supports all his delusions. Can't get much more broken than that.

Competition for wealth is as old as the hills and inherent in humans. Like many evolutionary traits it’s up to the individual to work out how to deal with it.
