The biggest problem not just for young people but people in general is finding meaning


The biggest problem not just for young people but for people in general is meaning.   People get meaning from a lot of different things such as: relationships religion/faith and their work.   The main point young people and others in general will not get meaning from social media and how many followers they have.   When kids are asked what do they want to do when they grow up? and they say a social media influencer that does not give me a lot of hope for the future.   I think we need to get our priorities straight.   I need to be carful but it does not bode well for the next generation.   Society is really falling younger people.   I think one of the biggest problems we are facing is the constant need to be reached all of this technology is ruining our society.   We are only here for a short time and the best thing we can do is try to support or mentor the next generations.   Society has to get its meaning back.   One of the things that people who are successful will usually  tell you that their biggest obstacle that they faced was getting out of their own way which makes sense because the more anyone thinks about themselves the more missirable and discontent they will become.   The biggest challenge we face is to help younger generations find meaning.   No one will get meaning by leading lives of escapism everyone needs moments or activities that they enjoy but that should be only in moderation and not to constanly escape reality because of social media and like are brains trick us into believing we are accomplishing all of these activities but in reality we are not.   I got this idea from reading: Chris Hardwick’s book The Nerdist Way How to Reach The Next Level in Your Real Life.
