I have to admit, our society is afflicted by an epidemic of CARING. In order to be happy, one must have the maturity to NOT CARE about at least a few things.

I don't know where it starts though, is it school? Society in general?
Tough question.
I actually think it starts with children's entertainment. Since the 1970s (maybe earlier) we've tooled the tots to root for the guys who care too much. Remember the "Save the Rainforest" push of the 80s and 90s. Yeah, I had to live through that. And the lesson that got hammered in, over and over, was "The worst thing you can do is not care."
