Blame Society

I’m a big Calvin and Hobbes fan, and like you see in this picture, I even dressed up as Calvin one year for Halloween! I’m going to offer up a quote that carries a surprising amount of wisdom to consider from Calvin’s dad: “Why do I get the feeling that society is trying to make us discontented with everything we do and insecure with who we are?” A lot of times in therapy, our problems didn’t come from our parents, childhood bullies, or as a result of a flawed brain. Sometimes, it’s the world around us that is messing with our spirits.

“Why do I get the feeling that society is trying to make us discontented with everything we do and insecure with who we are?”

~ Calvin’s Dad, from the Calvin & Hobbes comic series by Bill Watterson
