@chrishart_official : Is society too sensitive? [part 1] Are we too triggered? Too easily offended? I have spent so much of this last year or two pondering this and consuming countless instances of pain and suffering from around the world. Even throughout my career, I have heard the stories of so many people who are hurting, and struggling and just trying to get by. It penetrates so deeply and makes you so immensely aware of how many people there are in the world and how much hurt we experience. So the original question...are we too sensitive? I think the answer is no. We are not too sensitive. If anything, we may be leaning toward the more disturbing alternative that we are not sensitive enough. What we are, is far more aware than any other time in history. We are always aware of the billions of people alive on this planet. We are aware of our singular presence amongst that massive number. With widespread access to news and information 24/7, not only do we know what happens halfway across the world, we can see it in realtime. The suffering of someone is not some rumor. It’s not an urban legend or joke. We see it as if it happened right in front of us. It unfolds right in front of us in real-time. So we are not hearing about trauma and pain, we are feeling it. It can be overwhelming, and for some that overwhelming reality causes them to feel desensitized and detached. They step back and wonder why everyone is so emotional and so invested. They recall simpler times when people could “take a joke” or “weren’t so easily triggered”. The rest of the world is consumed by the massive task of caring. Caring not just about the people in their immediate circle, but caring for the people they don't know, who remind them of someone. Caring for the present, and the future. Caring for victims, and caring for people who could potentially suffer the same pain if we don’t act. #Triggered #Empathy
