But is psychology the real way to go about making things better? I think all these psychological problems happen for people because of poor social structure. Poor family values, personal values, relgious values. The focus is more and more on independance and privacy and sex and money and not really about the real happiness.
I actually have lot of interest in more social restructing kind of things. That would immensely help lot of people instaed of trying to do one by one after the damage is done.
Mabye go back to India and participate in an active social life would be better? But how would I do it? I have to still earn for living and where would I start? I don't want to be a social worker asking people for money for social causes and trying to help with the money. I want to get deeper rather than temporarily helping some kids with money or food. Trying to enter politics in India is also bad. That is also not the way to go about. What do people do when they want to help massive amounts of people?
I wish I had my ex T to talk about this now. He also has the same vision. But he has lot more advantage than me because of him family. And he doesn't have to really bother about earning for his living. I have to focus on that first.
If I give up my profession, what would I do for living?? But I have lost interest in my job. And I really have this burning desire for making more social impact.
I am just brainstorming myself.. Anybody knows anyone who gets into social life?
