I agree - I think there are collective seasons that we experience together that stir up similar feelings and movements all over the world. It's no surprise, i suppose! LOL We all just experienced something together as an entire globe at the same time... and that hasn't happend since 100 years prior?? 75? Not many in this generation had experienced something like that in their entire lifetimes.

But yes, we are longing for that pendulum to swing back - I think. hehehe

As far as superiority - I agree. I don't think it necessarily stems from wanting to be better than someone? I think it more stems from "I'm not as bad as this person." or "My situation isn't as bad as that person."

That comparison that you brought up - is more like... if someone is worse off than me - then, maybe I'm not so bad.

And then it's a slippery slope, isn't it LOL Because then we like feeling like we're not so bad and want to find others, and then we ARE feeling superior. We don't handle balance very well as human beings, do we? lol

I m ean... why doesn't our mind go to..."hey this person is doing worse than me, let me help lift them up to me."

right? LOL Well - I think that's going to be the goal of october. part of it anyway. look at that - i might have a part 3 brewing now. hahaha
