1/ A few food companies determine the quality of our food, which is increasingly toxic. The defense industry determines the tenor of our foreign policy, which is driven by weapons sales. A few insurance companies dictate our healthcare policies, which brutally neglect our needs.

2/ Gun manufacturers flood America with guns yet our govt won’t stand up to them. Crony capitalism crushes the economic dreams of a majority of Americans yet it dominates our economic policies. Fossil fuel companies continue to desecrate our earth diminishing chances for survival

3/ People waking up every morning knowing that those things are true, and/or living at the effect of them, are likely to be unhappy. But their upset is not the problem; it’s a warning. Psychic pain, like physical pain, is a sign that something is wrong and it must be addressed.

4/ We’re on the earth to love & be loved. Until that’s the guiding principle for all personal and public relationships, humanity will continue to move in the direction of chaos & destruction. But awakening to that realization, we quickly move in the direction of solution & repair

As a psych person I'm most troubled by our approach to mental health being determined by the Big Pharma. When we load up half the country on powerful, daily-use drugs rather than address underlying issues, we doom ourselves to have even more serious mental health issues over time
