another one here, more straight in our faces that cannot be: emotions as a commodity.
yeah, in a system where people are forced to compete more and more, the hunger game, empathy becomes more and more seldom

The Head of one of Britain’s most prestigious high schools has noticed such an increase in isolation, apathy, and indifference towards the suffering of others in his students that he will introduce empathy lessons as early as next year.
Andrew Halls, the headmaster of the exclusive King’s College School in Wimbledon, which costs a whopping £20,400 ($25,000) a year, has decided to take a more proactive approach to help combat what he sees as a growing disconnect between learners at his school and the world around them.
When speaking with the Times, he describes his perception that, as time goes on, students “become locked in a world of incomprehension, with an increasingly two-dimensional understanding of other people, [and are] incapable of forming real relationships in the world of flesh and blood…”’
