This is a great piece. I simply love the line, “what about reading the subtext that screams beneath the spoken script?” It echoes so much of my experience.
I have issues with a lot of the mental health awareness movements ... I think conversations need to be had, but what is happening currently isn’t the right approach or content. I think what you say here about the environment and how we as individuals react to other individuals are helpful lines of questioning.
It’s also interesting what makes people sit up and take notice or stand up and react. For example, the majority of people accepted their life coming to a stop for covid, but they can’t accept a train being delayed due to someone struggling.
The last point you make is particularly interesting. Yes, funny how they did, didn’t they? Somehow the govt seal of approval gives license to all manner of things people would not usually accept.
A kindness from the ticket officer would have solved all the problems. When someone is obviously in distress just walk on by and don’t worry that they haven’t got a ticket.
Everyone is suffering in different ways since the evil globalists revealed themselves over the last three years ......all the dreadful things that you mention in your article Julie.
I think he just saw himself as being ‘assertive’. Who knows what training he himself had received?
Yes if only it was one thing that was to blame for the explosion in mental health issues. My guess is that it’s a cocktail of all the things I mentioned and many others too.
I’m sure the ticket officer’s training didn’t extend beyond diversity. Certainly not empathy or how to look at and assess different situations to resolve a problem.
Thought provoking as always. I firmly believe that the past 3 and a bit years have given licence to a great many people to release that hidden sociopath lurking beneath their veneer of decency. We’re being systematically goaded into societal breakdown and lack of empathy is is a significant part of that.
It’s easier online to unleash that certainly. People behave far more cruelly to one and other on the internet. In real life, I just see people spilling over, cracking way more than I used to. They can’t cope.

Every piece she writes is a great piece.
Love her to bits
So true. Julie, you’re a gift to us all.

Yes I agree, it’s all by design, sadly.
ABSOLUTELY x
Great piece Julie. 👏
