Interesting how we feel the need to shout out to the world the minutiae of our lives yet, we are silent on the really important issues like depression, anxiety, isolation, and other achingly awful things that people live with everyday.
Certainly if there is sensationalism to be made of these things then platitudes are broadcast far and wide, sandwiched between commercials for cheeseburgers and wrinkle cream.
On any meaningful discussion, however, we are mute.
I think of Clara Hughes who like Sisyphus compelled to roll a rock up a hill, seems to be single-handedly trying to talk about mental health, but can’t get any traction. It’s like nobody cares. SILENCE.
