At the root of this dysfunction lies an uneducated emotional life. People who don’t know how to name what they feel, who act without understanding themselves, who unload their inner chaos onto others, who live in a kind of emotional autopilot. And in a culture that often glorifies immediate reaction, venting, and aggression as symbols of strength—without promoting self-control, empathy, or listening.

This deficiency doesn’t just generate external violence—it corrodes from within. Depression rates have alarmingly increased across all age groups. Emotional emptiness, a sense of disconnection, diffuse anxiety, and affective isolation affect both children and adults. Childhood, in particular, has suffered growing emotional neglect: absent parents, emotionally cold homes, screens replacing real human bonds.

On top of this is an education system focused on content, where emotions have no place. The restless child, the one who cries, who needs comfort, is penalized instead of being taught how to self-regulate. Schools become competitive environments with no room for cooperation or emotional expression. And so, we raise a generation that knows how to solve equations but not how to handle rejection or loss.
