SOCIAL PSYCHOSIS – a brewing oddity in the sane world

 We are living in a strange world where the facts and the false figures are mixed together in a way that confuses the observer. Amidst of this turmoil, hassle and the struggle of survival, one feels it hard to disentangle him or herself from the shackles of routines, information mania and rampant digitalization of life.

The yearning of self-awareness and identification rises within from time to time. 

It can be taken as a call from the nature. The diminishing perspective of the ethics, humanity, morality, love and sacrifice, honesty, empathy and respect reflects the downside of the better life quality.

The raging zone of religiosity, which is prevailing under the politico-social umbrella, is a rebound effect of the power inequality. The zest to avail the serenity and comfort comes forth in a form of a drug-drive, nudity and the fervent efforts to facilitate Id(elementary) level of consciousness.

The proximity to ones own self for knowing the existential purpose and the meaning gets lost in the frame of misperception, misrepresentation, misinterpretation and internal bias secondary to the stereotyped beliefs. Both reluctance and a lack of time prevent minds to investigate about the origins, complexity and the convolutions of evidence but to track the pre-existential medium, idea and a thought. 

This attitude has further promoted the conventional impressions and worsened the existing picture.

It has introduced more polarization, inequality and injustice. Polarity begets polarity. It has filled the deprived one with frustration and enthusiasm to take away the inaccessible opportunities by “all” means. This wild tussle has heightened the already-growing insecurity of the “blessed ones” (people with more than the basic survival requirements). Blessed ones are those who possess the authority on feeding the other side of the polarity.

We are in a sphere of time, which is following the pathway of Entropy. The core of a modern world is decomposing. It is modeling a behavior of the psychotic mind.

Can we call it a social psychosis?

A world, where children are confused, feeling the thirst of distinctiveness and individuality for stabilization. This has augmented the aggressive behaviors, which manifests itself through the violence, terror and abuse, which become a major channel of expression and existence now.

Here, at this point where grasping “the-happening” phenomena is a difficult task. Now, more often people try to disconnect from the routines to seek inner peace and voice through the outlets like yoga classes, meditation clubs and reading. Individuals write, reflect, pursue psychological help and often get into a therapy to re-frame the meaning and to make-a-sense-of-experience.

On the other hand, people are also diverting towards wild escapes. The rising rates of suicide, addiction, risk-taking gratifications and despicable indulgencies; all these demonstrate the craziness which people acquire to set their lives, souls and minds free.

But free from what?

This century is a fervent proponent of the freedom of speech, action and opinions. Then, why the restlessness has seized each one of us! We are trying to get rid from what? What is that which we all are seeking ruthlessly? Why we are re-shaping our identities, trying to find a place for selves in a mid of chaos and feeling it hard to listen to the inner solace.

There must be something very significant going on! There must be something we are missing on! Something is happening to us! I am unable to untangle the knot.

I am trying to comprehend all this too.
