When we keep quiet, when we ignore serious social problems, change becomes more difficult. And let's not forget that the flip side of despair is hope. Well, that depends. Though reports claim our unemployment rate is low, such statistics can be misleading. While some people find better positions, gain in status, increase their income or take on added responsibilities, others don't get hired.
Companies continue to cut positions.
The disappearance of millions of jobs has taken a toll on our psyches. Work causes great stress. So does looking for work. These days, much of your time and energy centers on earning a decent living. With job security now a myth, most of us feel frustrated, angry, anxious, unsure of our next move.
