Consider our economic paradigm. Whereas in primitive societies 📝cooperation was the rule, in our society it is 📝competition. More for you means less for me. I’ve got to stake out my territory and protect my interests. Even education is based on competition for grades (which are implicitly associated with eventual success in life; i.e., survival). Both our 📝ontology and our economics set us in competition with one another and therefore generate 📝anxiety. However, the best way to see the powerful role of anxiety in our lives is on a personal level, by examining the emotions and considerations that determine important life decisions. [1]
