I don't understand. I have friends that say they are depressed. They have no reason to. Maybe if they were starving to death and lived in Africa, maybe they might have a reason, but they live a normal American suburban life. It's ridiculous. Does anyone agree with me, or no?

QUOTE Maybe if they were starving to death and lived in Africa, maybe they might have a reason, but they live a normal American suburban life. It's ridiculous. You dont' know how angered I am by this statement. It's not ridiculous. Kids starving to death in Africa aren't depressed because things can get better and it feels good when there's room to improve. When everything's done for you and you can have anything you want, you don't feel the happiness of "improvement". By nature, you will take things for granted. If a starving child in Africa could go to McDonalds and get a free meal or stay in a hotel, they would be ecstatic. But when people like you and me go there, it's normal. So we don't feel that kind of excitement. Depression is also a medical illness that can be inherited, and people can't help it. Do you think people want to be depressed? Don't say it's ridiculous if they're depressed. That's like saying someone's ridiculous if they have ADD or down syndrome. You don't want to have it, but you do and it's inevitable. |
