We live in a society that is increasingly accelerating and generating more pressure. Besides stress and illness, this can have negative consequences such as burnout and depression. The CBD Oil of Trees helps to counteract the stressful everyday life.

Acceleration

E-mail was invented so that we no longer have to write letters and thus save time. Suddenly we can do just as much correspondence in half the time. But instead of gaining time, we now write even more e-mails. And not twice as many, but three or four times as many. This also means that we have to worry about at least twice as many things.

This is the same with other inventions like automobiles: They were actually supposed to save us time, but paradoxically they ultimately lead to the opposite, namely time shortage. The dynamization of the world, which can already be heard in the 18th century, is taking on unimagined dimensions today. Most of us know the feeling of running after time without ever being able to catch up with it.

The consequences of such an accelerated society can be quite negative. According to the sociologist Hartmut Rosa, social acceleration leads to alienation on several levels. On the one hand on the political level, where we can observe an increasing aggression behavior. On the other hand, it leads to alienation from nature. The climate change caused by humans is the best proof of this

But also on the personal level, stress and pressure of expectation cause alienation, which can lead to depression and burnout. According to the Robert Koch Institute, at least 15% of the population suffer from depression during their lifetime. Between 2007 and 2017, the KKH registered an over 100% increase in burnout patients.

Logic of Increase and “Present Shrinkage”

This acceleration can be explained by the logic of modern society. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that these societies can only maintain themselves if they increase. If the economy stagnated, companies would close, jobs would be lost and ultimately the social system would collapse.

On the other hand, it is in the nature of human beings to want to make more of the world available to them. We get into airplanes to travel further, to see more of the world. We own a smartphone to increase the possibilities to get in touch with the world in different ways. This logic of increase is most noticeable in the acceleration and its negative consequences.

The acceleration of time has the distant consequence of a “present shrinking”, as the philosopher Hermann Lübbe called it. The period of time in which something is current, such as knowledge, becomes smaller and smaller. Instead, the rapid changes make today’s knowledge tomorrow become yesterday’s knowledge tomorrow. This puts us under additional pressure.

Deceleration

The logic of modern society’s growth cannot be simply overruled. However, people are discovering more and more possibilities to counteract the negative consequences of the meritocracy. Be it yoga, meditation or slow food.

The CBD Oil of Trees can also help. On the one hand by calming the mind. On the other hand by helping to relax the body. It is recently known that the physical state is closely related to the mental state.

Accordingly, constant stress causes physical ailments such as cramps, cardiac arrhythmia and stomach ulcers. On the other hand, the relaxation of the body can also contribute to that of the mind.

We recommended to take your CBD Oil before going to bed, to get a better sleep and thus to may reduce your everyday stress.

Perhaps the problems of modern society have not yet been solved. But at least it will give us the strength to change the world again.
