Think we are now a society that makes all types of relationships more difficult, partners, parents and adult kids, brothers and sisters, friends, neighbours, increasing division, as orwell predicted, is it lack of trust, or respect, people becoming more insulting with less good manners, more aggessive, competative, jealous, less confident, less content with their lot, more of a self society, combination of all. l do think that there is an influence that we should all be feisty, tough, hard, etc, take it on the chin, laugh it off, re insults and abuse starting at school, but l dont think many people do, they soak it up, brood on it, affecting confidence, feel insecure, hurt, some turn it inwards causing themselves to suffer, some turn it outwards causing others to suffer, often their nearest, occassionally strangers. But is it spontaneous and a natural progession, or is it contrived and orchestrated for other ends.
