It’s pretty easy to see the multitude of problems that are the reasons for our discontent. Though it’s so hard to trace things back to a distinct area where the problems exist. Mostly because you just need to look around to see that there is a lot that we need to fix. Lots of us are trying, some are still denying. So, this is to those of you who aren’t as convinced as those who are voicing their discontent with the world.

There’s tons more – I couldn’t go through all of them as they deserved to be read thoroughly to understand the mindset. So, I picked a few that speaks to a broken society using the words of its people. Fascinating and at times depressing in their discontent! Do we get it now?
p.s. Amazing work, Letters of Note, and thank you!!! We get an amazing glimpse into the minds of those who inspire (or not) us.
