"I will be a meditation president."
A few days before the Presidential Election Vote Day, the candidate Huang Guosong answered the answer when he became a president on the interview program of the Strait Times.When I watched the show, I almost didn't laugh, and immediately made up a president who was wearing a casual clothes, sitting on his legs, put his hands on both knees, closed his eyes, and called ... suck ...
The lively presidential election is now settled, and the "Meditation President" failed to achieve it. Huang Guosong got the vote rate at 15.72%and was thrown by the voting king of the ticket with Chen Qinliang.
Although the answer of "Meditation President" is full of people, young people's mental health is an indescribable serious issue, which is evident from the attention of young people during the presidential election.
Huang Guosong talked about the positive impact of sitting and mindfulness on him in multiple online programs, and also encouraged young people to meditate.He believes that young people will have mental health because they feel that they must meet the expectations of their parents, teachers and peers.
I recently talked about the presidential election with an Indian colleague. She talked about her teenage daughter every day in the room and brushed Tiktok, so that she was worried that her daughter would "have no friends" and "psychological problem with her psychology."" ".
Just as the lyrics, "Loneliness is a carnival, carnival is the loneliness of a group of people", young people are lonely in the carnival of social media; and the loneliness of seniors is more loneliness than young people, the elderly are more loneliness is more.Naked and more direct, they didn't even have a lively cover of social media.
The New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has recently discussed in the text why people in different countries in the United States and even the world are suffering from loneliness.The actual risk of chronic diseases.
He raised a good question: Why did the serious economic damage as serious as the Great Depression in the 1930s made people be as desperate as today?
Ji Sidao believes that one of the main reasons is that in the United States in the 1930s, there are many community institutions and organizations, including churches, clubs, women's groups, and distant relatives and neighbors. Today, such social networks are disappearing and it is difficult to rebuild.
The English words of Great Depression are "The Great Depression". Will the era we live in?The population of solitary alone has continued to rise, and the population of not alone may not be lonely.
Last month, economists also examined the increasingly serious loneliness of the United Kingdom, and proposed the concept of "Social Prescription", pointing out that the antidote was not in the pharmacy, but in the community.However, due to the poor economic economy, many projects that are beneficial to society lack funds. The reduction of funds means that the public fields connecting to people such as young communities and community clubs cannot be rejuvenated.
In 2018, Britain established a "Lonely Minister" position, and in 2021, Japan also appointed "Solitary Minister".It was unexpected, but now it seems that there is vision and necessary.In modern society, which is increasingly torn and alienated by people, loneliness is increasing, and the social costs that indirectly cause physical and mental health and invisible social costs.
We do not have the position of "Lonely Minister", but we may have a "lonely president" to consolidate the society and fight against the collective loneliness of the developed countries in the world.In a few days, Shang Daman will take office, and becomes the ninth president of Singapore .His most brain, no one doubted; when he came down, he looked forward to seeing that he could use his heart to prescribe the prescription for the society.
Meditation can fight a person's loneliness, and the loneliness of a group of people needs to rely on society.
