Americans are more stressed out than ever and chronic anxiety is at an all time high.
The factors:
- The war on terror –the war is vague and indefinable –no geographical borders or specific nationality of the enemy, it’s an ideology, nature of the term “terror” predicates that the only way we will know war is over is when there is world peace and thus almost impossible
- Rise in natural disasters of enormous proportions –tsunamis, hurricanes, flooding etc, and fear of pandemic diseases –Bird Flu
- General instability and sense of insecurity and impending doom
- General sense of fear of an unidentifiable enemy
- General sense of confusion about the solution: which is more important –security or freedom
- Pressure of the Holidays and dealing with family and relatives with unresolved issues
Man has always suffered from chronic anxiety and turned to his concept of God to try and ease his chronic anxiety, pain, suffering, fear and general sense of confusion.
