We live in the best of times. There is less and less poverty. Moreover, we are capable of cure basically the majority of illnesses. In Europe or United-States every hard-working citizen can buy a car and a decent house. Generally, the state has changed – It is not an unpredictable monster who wants abuse us and steal our money, but like in the Nordic countries, it could be really helpful and protective. Eve
We have smartphones, internet, social media, in short: a lot of convenience unimaginable for our grandparents. I address it to people who love romanticize the past. In spite of casual dentist visit, you can try going to the blacksmith. That would be unforgettable.
However, we – all human being – need to have some problems. We get bored because of a perfect quiet life and we look for some variety. Obviously, we overthink some banal situations, because there is a drama queen deeply hidden inside all of us. We look for attention and someone who will listen to our fictive problems.
That diagnosis of our society has been presented by Philippe Blasband in a theatre piece called „Les mangeuses de chocolat” (The eaters of chocolate).
