Where is the emotional training in our society?
This situation is an example of a prolific problem in US society, where individuals are able to excel and achieve many things yet remain uneducated in how to positively work through and live with their emotions. We have all witnessed a fifty year old man acting like a four year old brat, we have seen the stalking cases like this one where a conflict with the heart drives people to unacceptable behavior, selfishness is rampant because people never mature past the childish 'me' stage. For the most part, there is no component in any system, including 'parenting', where an individual is educated on what it means to mature emotionally and how to grow in that regard.
