The Crisis of Identity.

When we went from placing value on what really matters to just external things humanity fell so hard and broke it's back. The impact of that fall is why we have so many people with low self esteem and terrible identity crises. Much more than failing economies, hunger, disease, widespread poverty is the crisis of the individual.  The crisis of seeking validation, of feeling some sort of worth and value.

I always told myself I would find a job despite the scary stati

Luckily for my dad he got a job in line with what he studied in school which was Textile science and technology. The job was very demanding especially since they worked with lots of
