In recent days, I have observed something that concerns me more than the events themselves: the way fear has been colonizing entire hearts. The news about Iran arrives as a collective tightness in the chest. War — that old acquaintance of humanity — once again looms like a ghost, making us believe, often, that the end is near. But history shows us the opposite. We have been at the abyss countless times, and we have always found our way back.

Let's be honest: raising kids today feels different. As a Holistic Therapist who talks to teens, young adults and older adults mostly through my screen, I get a direct feed into their digital world. The parents I work with often share the same worry: "I don't understand their world, and it seems to be making them unhappy."

Do you feel like the world is more polarized, more selfish, and dumber? You are right. The problem is not accidental. Modern society — politics, algorithms, and the market — actively works to dismantle your ability to be a Citizen and force you to be just a rigid Political Identity (Right vs. Left, Liberal vs. Conservative).
