Universal healthcare, and a social contract, to provide basic care without judgment. Can go a long way, to reduce anxiety.
Also a safe society for children/parents, where they are not thinking about guns and violence. (I’m not saying more police, but concern for others, as a fundamental part of our upbringing)
Lastly, our phones are designed to entrap our attention. Isolating us from even those around us.
My wife and I travelled around small island communities in the Philippines.
The children didn’t have phones, they didn’t have parents hovering over them. But a community watching out for them. The kids ran around doing imaginary play, or with a ball. They were happy, to pose for pictures, show us their rooster, ect.
They didn’t know that they were poor, they were free, safe, and loved.
I can still feel the full happy feeling I had. When around those people.
Stop letting the extreme views in our societies, control the narrative.
