     We really are. Many take it for granted.

     We currently see socioeconomic pressures forcing many to quickly alienate & dehumanize one another.

     Immediate family members throw their hands in the air & say "you're crazy, seek help".

     Good natured people give advice like "everyone should seek therapy".

     We're taught it's not our job/ we're not certified/ qualified/ competent/ that we need to spend time/ energy wisely.

     They're not wrong, but they're not right & they always push responsibility onto others first.

     It takes a village…

     These show good natured people can be subconsciously cold & antisocial, falling into logical traps & mob mentality.

     Traditionally, we therapize each other through conversation. One can't ethically put the entire world on therapists.

     Granted, helping others isn't required, but we don't seem to encourage this/ other social skills very well these days…

     When accessibility is missing/ required/ neglected, we should help each other.
