In the contemporary society, there seems to be an unfortunate prevalence of certain symptoms at the heart of our interactions. These symptoms include engaging in meaningless competitions, an unwillingness to acknowledge mistakes and learn from them, an inability to offer sincere apologies, and a tendency to react with anger when confronted with challenges. Such behaviors hinder constructive discussions and connections with others. It is disheartening to witness such immaturity. Let us strive to cultivate empathy and understanding in order to foster more meaningful and enriching interactions with one another.
