Depression is a horror, and just like many other negative's it racking havoc in our society. Many of my friends are on anti-depressants, and I personally struggle with live a lot.
I personally think that the state of the world mainly causes this. We seem richer then ever before, and more depressed at the same time. We should all be celebrating life right ?? We live in the 21st century, and we are witnessing the absolute peak in human ingenuity and expression, yet most of us feel disconnected, frustrated and down-right depressed.
I always tell people that life isn't Disney, and the world is completely mad, I found, that if you look at it from that perspective, it becomes more easier to make sense of life in all its aspects.
Life is a gift, but this planet kinda sucks. Look at all the suffering, our governments, the wars, the hunger, the list is endless. no wonder we feel depressed all the time, this is a bad vibe.
But at the end of the day, I remind them, that we could change it all.... ;)
If only we wanted it bad enough.
Or maybe I'm mad for thinking in such a manner. ;)
Upvoted.
You are not mad. I totally agree with every word You said. Specially the society we live set up such high and unreal standards and "the dream" that everyone can achieve their dreams... when obviously that is not possible... because the opportunities are not enough. Get People sad and depressed. And then come all the other side saying that You can... You just not working hard enough... or You are being negative... and You can do it.... but when You know You have been literally working the hardest and still nothing happen to You.... more frustration and depressive feelings... it is sad and a stupid cycle.
