In India , we poke into each other's affairs too much. The modern, westernised individualistic generation takes umbrage at this and the phase " minding you own business" is commonly being used to avoid people. Traditional cultures always had interactions , gossips, chit chats , comiserations, mournings, celeberations with distant relatives woven into the daily grind. Everything had a purpose
This was interesting. I loved the presentation of ideas from other countries, and it is somewhat relieving to know and be shown that the way I have always known (the American way) isnt the only way. However, I did have to disagree with the "chemical imbalance" statement. I have both a TBI and hormonal illnesses. It is fascinating, to experience the way a physical injury to your brain can change everything about you. Experiencing that, alongside the ways that chemical imbalances in my body - from hormonal birth control to thyroid disorders to ADHD - colored my perceptions and experiences through my brain, has made it very, starkly, clear that you physical brain - including all the chemical and hormonal balances through your entire body - have a stark, deep impact on literally everything. Most especially how you experience and react to life. Simply put, your physical health absolutely has an impact on your emotional/mental health, as deeply as your emotional/mental health impacts your physical. The two are irrevocably intertwined. And, for what its worth, there ARE chemical/hormonal imbalance tests for your body. 😉
It's ironic that the culture that focuses on the individual, America, has the richest society, but cultures that focus on the society, each other, have richer lives.
In India , we have a meme where the PM says - Sab changa si.
Always happiness is not your birthright, it cannot ever be
