Let's Discuss... Sick Society (In Park)

Society is a living being, it can be healthy and thrive, and it can get sick and die.
When society develops a pattern of creating sick individuals that harm themselves or harm their community, that society can be called a sick society.

“We are on guard against contagious diseases of the body, but we are . . .careless when it comes to the even more dangerous collective diseases of the mind.”
Carl Jung, The Earth Has a Soul
