– Psychology has a notion called an emotional scale where enthusiasm is the expression of the highest and healthiest state.
– Yes, this is the highest state.
– However, the tendency indicates that modern society is becoming immersed in depression and apathy, which is the lowest state on this scale.
– This is Nature’s call to us: to create a society or a nucleus that could serve as a model of unification and ascent for us. Otherwise we will all simply lie down and become immobile.
A few days ago I heard a report by Russia’s chief of the health ministry where he stated that over the next 10-15 years half of Russia’s population will be depressed. These are not some journalist’s surmises, but an open statement by the chief of the health ministry!
We can only imagine what kind of problems there are in reality. If the chief of the health ministry says that half of the population will be depressed in 10-15 years, it means that there are already a lot of depressed people.
Today, concealed depression is everywhere. It doesn’t depend on how developed a society is or on the standard of living. It doesn’t depend on anything. We are observing a process of the transition of depression from a concealed form into an apparent form because the integral interconnection of all of Nature’s elements is becoming openly revealed in our world, while we are unable to become similar to it.
We have to be integrally interconnected, to be a single humanity all together. But in the meantime, we are horrible individualists. This opposition to one another evokes cruel sensations within us. We will have to become aware of them and solve this problem.
