Have you ever wondered why when we enter a neighborhood inhabited only by the rich, the neighborhood seems to us pure, elegant and flawless, and you feel safe while walking in it and if you park your car, you do not fear for it, while if you pass through a poor, marginalized neighborhood full of filth, you will feel insecure, a thief may come out to rob you, cleanliness is almost non-existent, everything is broken, and you cannot park your car safely , There is this strange and contradictory situation , you may think it is due to the upbringing of both the poor and the rich, but no. In 1969, a famous American psychologist and sociologist from Stanford University named Philip Zimbardo decided to do strange research on which an even stranger theory called the Broken Window Theory was built by sociologists James Wilson and George Keeling in 1982 and later turned into one of the most important studies in criminology and social and psychological sciences in the world . The theory says that regardless of whether this neighborhood is inhabited by rich or poor people. One broken window in this neighborhood will soon lead to the appearance of more broken windows. The theory literally says that one broken window that has not been repaired is a signal that no one cares and therefore breaking more windows will not cost anything, and the disorder leads to increased levels of fear in citizens, which leads them to withdraw from society and reduce participation in informal social control.

Oftentimes people subject their negativity to a mere passage of time, but often there is an underlying cause that needs to be addressed and healed to become in a state of awareness of their emotions and innate being. It is important to bring light to the need to embrace one’s emotions and not shame ourselves with guilt when we don't feel happy or in rhythm with our souls. Often we lose the sense of self when surrounded by grief.
