I believe not only the economic woes, but society as well has played a huge part in it. People are just becoming more rude, uncaring, disrespectful, and bullies. Kids see their parents acting this way, so therefore children are doing it as well to their friends and classmates. Some people just aren't able to cope and reach a breaking point.
I came close to my breaking point once, due to the way my sister treated me. I couldn't take it any longer and wanted to end things, I had enough. On the way home from her house, I was in tears and Jesus spoke to my heart and I didn't go through with it. And I vowed never ever to feel that way again.
But I believe so much plays in the part of reaching that point, for some it is the economy, for others it may be how they are treated by coworkers, friends or family. Put all of that together now days, along with main society and how rude people are and inconsiderate, it is just a matter of time for anyone to crack and reach their breaking point.
Not many people are around to encourage and lift others up anymore, too many people are busy tearing someone else down, so they themselves can feel better.
I for one have gotten sick of even stepping foot outside my door. All you hear is people yelling at each other, calling each other names and using the F word in every other sentence. And I am tired of trying to breathe in fresh air only to choke on someone elses cigarette stench. I do not like being out and about around people. I would rather stay home where the environment is clean, refreshing, up lifting, encouraging and joyful.
To stay strong, sometimes one must do whatever it takes to avoid those things that you know will bring you down, or bring harm. Surround yourself with those that truly love you, support you and encourage you.
Above all, never make fun or belittle someone for wanting to avoid such ugliness, or make them feel they are less of a person for feeling tired and reaching their breaking point. We all feel tired and reach a point to some extent. Some can feel better just by venting their feelings to others who care and are supportive who will listen, while others sometimes don't have anyone, or those they do have in their life, just add to it and make things worse.
Stay strong in the Lord and always lean on Him and talk to Him whenever you feel you are close to your breaking point. He will always be there for you and will never let you down.
Blessings to you all
