Loneliness in developed countries
While walking this morning, two guys stopped me to explain about the charity organisation that will help poor kids in third-world countries. For sure, that's a good mission to help others.
Today's world is shifting its focus—not just from wealth or poverty, but towards overall well-being. We're no longer measuring success solely by economic strength but by the happiness index.
Instead of dwelling on the problems of other countries, it's time we look inward and help our younger generation prepare for the economic challenges that lie ahead.
In many parts of Asia, even without much money, people often find strength in the support of family and close friends. In contrast, loneliness is becoming a serious issue in many developed countries—especially among the youth. Life moves fast, and everyone is busy. You're often left to fend for yourself if you lose your job. And that can be incredibly hard.
The answer? Bring back the culture of close family bonds. Reconnect with your neighbours. Stay in touch with your friends. Strong social ties are more valuable and lasting than money alone. A supportive community can make all the difference in navigating life's uncertainties.
