Understanding Emotions and the Origin of Wokeism
Emotions should be acknowledged without the need for justification, especially when dealing with the experiences of individuals, such as children experiencing terror or despair. Wokeism is often born out of a generation's inability to meet their needs within the established societal framework. Millennials have faced disillusionment due to following a flawed success formula prescribed by the previous generation, leading to economic crises and a lack of reward for their efforts. As a response, wokeism reflects a desire for instant gratification and a drive to dismantle systems that have failed them, resulting in an over-identification with underdog causes.
