It started with the “How do you FEEL about X” movement. My dad taught me nobody cares how you feel about something they just care what you think. Today we teach our kids to be emotional basket cases. You have to feel everything. And worse express your feelings for the world to see on FB and Twitter immediately when you feel them. And G*d forbid someone on social media disagrees with your feelings. Then you spiral down into depression.
“Then you spiral down into depression...” and demand long and expensive therapy and medications.
