Our Excruciating Modernity

Our Modern world is excruciatingly flawed.

In this collection of short essays, you will be confronted with critical views on the features of our present Modernity, ranging from social media’s perverse effect on the self and the importance of nature, to the alarming state of public education, or even death. The author intends to inspire you to develop your own intimate antidote to the many modernity-induced maladies we suffer from collectively and individually.

Ultimately, it is the “how” that you must remember, for this piece outlines ways in which we can all, as contributors to, and members of, our modern society, build a present filled with full and fulfilling lives that transcend the petty and all-too-human things that make up our existences.
