Analyzing 2015 Emotionally

In spite of the fact that every one of us tends to present themselves as positive as they can reasonably be, we all have our shortcomings, and there are even hidden skeletons in our closets.

Howdy everybody,

2015 had many unexpected developments, like these:

1.)We all had to discover that Russia's government is driven by power issues. The Crimea area became Russian overnight (already in 2014), and out of the blue Russia stands side by side to fight the Islamic State with France.

2.) Here in the U.S. we have an almost-presidential runner who does and says things, which don't always match a certain truth. He states certain things, e.g. what Mexicans do, regardless if this is fact or fiction.

3.) The European Union needed to monetarily help Greece once more, although the EU countries were not so happy about this never ending story. Numerous EU nations, particularly the Eastern ones, have additionally demonstrated an absence of compassion regarding taking in a large number of refugees originating from the Middle East.

4.)After the Paris assaults, anxiety has struck parts of U.S. society, caused by the possibility of a scenario, like another 9/11, that could happen here.

Each of these four examples in 2015 have demonstrated to us certain and very typical human reactions.

Power, Trust, Honesty, Egoism and Fear

1)Politics of Power in Russia

2)Lack of honesty of an almost-presidential runner

3)European Union - Lack of empathy

4)Fear in the U.S. of another assault

Each of these things happened in our ordinary lives too. Striking for power is a major part in our every day lives, particularly in our work environment.

A lack of truth is not only a Trump thing. This study demonstrates that 60% of us need to lie once in a ten-minute discussion.

Egoism is not just a part of EU politics. In any case, several studies present the egoism as a natural drive in all of us to survive.

And all of us have experienced some anxiety at one stage of our lives that held him or her back.

This intriguing study even demonstrates that two-thirds of our general public has anxiety called nomophobia -- the fear of being without a cell phone.

In spite of the fact that every one of us tends to present themselves as positive as they can reasonably be, we all have our shortcomings, and there are even hidden skeletons in our closets.

And I believe it's great like that. How dull would life be if we were all great and perfect! But still, let's hope for better in the world of politics.

Happy New Year to every one of you!
