Do you think that if people were paid reasonably, like if they put in good work and actually got paid a base living wage to survive independently, then people and society would be massively reduced of it’s social and mental issues?

I feel as though if I had been able to make money for working hard I would have been able to avoid nearly all my social and mental health issues.

I don’t intend for this to be about universal income or politics or anything like that.

It just seems like society is knowingly creating hell on earth.

Lack of freedom to exist creates a spiral of hell… Imo.

    Removing the stress of financial insecurity? Having enough income to seek professional and medical support? Of course it would help.

      I didn’t really mean seeking professional help. While that would be a good thing, what I meant is the problems wouldn’t have arisen in the first place.

      Professional help is overrated. But to the extent that it does help, it should be part of Healthcare, which should be publicly funded anyway.

      Removing the stress of financial insecurity would surely help a lot.

        Yeah, I have done some therapy but in my mind there’s always something telling me that the therapy isn’t for the sake of humanity, it’s just for the sake of making honest living people functional in a world literally built to not allow or incorporate them into society. A lot of people’s benefits to good and society go unseen or not manifested because of this.
