being caught between the "need" to fit into the life around us, (avoiding exclusion), and this surmountable "desire" to stay true to our essence gnawing at us inside is, i think one of the biggest problems we face. basically, what we want is at odds with what we need, rather than being complementary.
plus, this exclusion is serious and can be more devastating than a child being left out of a game. hence, we live in this strange `cancel culture `where exclusion is announced to everyone and their granny.
yet, the silent destruction happening within a person who cannot live authentically goes completely unnoticed, thus receiving no attention because it is invisible. it's a game we all know, but one we collectively agree to play in order to maintain our societal sanity at the detriment of our individual mental health.
so the question becomes the reverse: what are the biggest problems humans are having with modernity?

i think the biggest problem occurs while, in the pursuit of catching that "modern" part, we end up missing ourselves and who we could be because we're constantly being forced into sameness, squeezed into certain consumption patterns, trapped within specific body standards, and having certain thoughts imposed on us through mainstream channels, leading us where we are; us being our biggest problem.
