"Oblivious Patients”
Unfortunately we DO NOT have creative education in our country. Therefore, it not only paves the way for a negative way of thinking but also it develops a narrow & polarized mindset. Consequently, people are unable to appreciate the more talented fellows around them who have difference of opinion with them.
This is proven fact that creativity is linked to happiness and fulfillment. Therefore, creative education can cultivate a more positive, innovative, and fulfilling approach to life.
As we know dialogue is the foundation of understanding, empathy, and peaceful resolution. Without dialogue, societies can become polarized, and in such circumstances only extremism can flourish.
The dilemma of our society is that due to the nonexistence of dialogue, different groups and ideologies have become absolutely polarized. Consequently people fail to understand and appreciate different viewpoints.
In our country, unfortunately, we failed to create a society that values understanding, empathy, and inclusivity. The result is not only extremism and polarization but also severe psychological issues. There are millions of such patients, who are unaware of the tragic fact that they are actually sick.
People always focusing on the negative aspects of everything and everyone have symptom of a cognitive distortion known as "negative bias” or "negativity bias.” This can be an indicator of various psychiatric conditions, including:

Critical Thinking Disorder.
It’s essential to recognize and address such patterns, as they can lead to the following:

In the Western world, people having the above symptoms consult a psychiatrist to become a NORMAL human being.
