I think egoism is too strong as in the United States I was encultured in consumerism, strive for wealth, and then in workplaces that I have been in there is the need to have power or dominance over the worker, they actually openly subscribed to philosophy that the workers work better/produce more when put under stress. As you might imagine, this papermill work was very taxing for every aspect of the worker’s life, much addiction, very high divorce rate, early deaths, much illness.
Yes I recognize the affects, although I perform counseling with many contacts with people through the week, I am a loner. I have been a loner most of my life, then in my 40’s had a severe illness that required stem cell transplant to put in remission. I have just learned in this session that an increase in social connection is the medicine I need to keep this illness in remission. Unfortunately, I live in an area that most people are in negative mindset as their life has been turned upside down by papermill closures and connecting with them is having to listen to negative energy discussions. I am quite isolated from spiritual seeking people to connect with.
