Closed emotions

The article “Closed emotions” (Open Page, March 9) makes interesting reading. It rightly points to the psychological nurturance need in all of us. Any association we develop with fellow human beings is to gratify this need. Unfortunately, the younger generation finds a world around it that places a premium on achievement over anything else. In such a world, the desire to do more than one can do is high and the race is on where position and money are prioritised. Blog sites and social networking sites are nothing but an effort by individuals to achieve the cathartic release of emotional pains.
