We Need To Find the Easy Way to Live Well

I finished reading a biography and essay by Dr. Sigmund Freud. I was reading only for curiosity, This book has woken me up to a special interest for the general situation we live with. We are surrounded by several pressures and our typical era's problems. Therefore, we see appearing psychological diseases and those diseases are becoming a common factor in new generations like stress and depression.
When I read this book, I noticed we need to have some knowledge about elementary psychology to have the capacity to analyze ourselves. The point is to recognize when we are being affected by these things and we try to have control over the stress and depression, started by problems like economic problems, family problems, social integration, school and cultural problems, relationship problems, etc. We need to be careful that we don't allow ourselves to be pushed to make desperate decisions that could be harmful to us.
We are a part of a new generation and we have the ability to be better than the past generations. This is the way to need to think but at the same time, the responsibility and the reduced opportunity we have for development makes us feel a lot of pressure.
Normal problems face our generation and at the same time new problems challenge our personal values (these values are different depending on the society the person has grown up in) and increased distrust among people.
The economic problems, religious fanaticism, destruction of family links, deficient education, endless fights between man and technology, reduction of living space in big cities. money and power concentrated in a few people or companies, etc., all of these things directly affect our youth's natural evolution.
The point of this essay is to stimulate people to develop your self-knowledge and try to avoid wrong decisions about drugs, alcohol, suicide, etc. because we are living and seeing these kinds of things frequently. Since they are part of our lives, we need to restore trust in ourselves in reaching our goals and try to retake the personal values and become a real support for our normal lives.
Technology, religion, society, etc. turn men around, therefore we need to take control over them and don't allow them to take control of us.
