In every action we take, every word we utter, we are moral and political agents who create a type of world based on that doing. These pseudo-therapeutic scams – which gradually take on a greater role, enhance emotional alienation and belittle our intelligence – make us forget that we live and survive thanks to the political dimension of mutual care, of the relationships that we draw through our ability to be affected by others. Everything must "flow" comfortably through existence, allowing us to avoid anything unpleasant, including setbacks, obstacles and, in general, any potential burden. The elimination of any ambiguity or problems in our lives is constantly promoted. We become isolated subjects who strive for their own well-being, through an unhealthy lack of communication.Īccording to the most stupefying personal development and the self-help-through-magical-thinking dogma ("Where there's a will, there's a way"), there are many ways to free ourselves from the "toxicity" of certain relationships, whether personal, professional or even with ourselves, and to find our "vitamin people" (those who make our journey easier). Under a syrupy layer of self-determination and self-sufficiency, this movement advocates for a morality based on the denial of mutual care - in other words, separating us from the responsibility for a common well-being, while condemning us to the ostracism of our personal sphere, and to the self-inflicted loneliness of emotional privatism ("If I am well, everything will be well").
