Coincidentally enough today I wrote about Seneca.

In all honesty, we can be happy that we are currently going through an era of populism as it has led to at least a small percentage of society becoming vocal and disagreeing again. Sadly enough it also shows how weak large groups and demographics are and how they fear critical thinking. Being challenged.

Add to that how touchy most have become and ever more societal values are geared towards not offending and self-introspection becomes a reality to but the fewest. Others will prefer changing their wardrobe every season and think prosperity (debt fueled more often than not) equals happiness.

Yet, they’ve never wanted to be challenged and thus never were able to prove themselves either. They think knowing life yet don’t realize they’re being lived.
