> Whatever precipitating causes led to such suffering, know that we're _here_, _now_, together.

The article comments on this though:

"All the things that have traditionally made life worth living — love, community, country, faith, work, and family — have been “debunked.”

This is absolutely true and no wonder young folks are feeling down. I think the counter-culture types starting 50+ years ago wanted to tear down the old, but forgot to put something constructive in its place. (Well the leftist/Marxist types tried, but then the USSR imploded)

It's the Internet: All the "debunkings" have also been "debunked".

From the article...

Monogamy is the corollary for the debunking of love.

That's very silly. Love is much more than marriage.

"Church" foibles is the corollary for the debunking of Faith.

That's also very silly. Faith is much more than church or religion.

In other times and other cultures, spiritual insight removed the roots of suffering.
