[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 659194, member: 57076"] if you want facts, here are some other ones that haven't been mentioned here: depression is something that's reported in developed countries the most, by far. While it is a three-dimensional, weighty reality for us out here, it's a luxury for someone in a poor African country. We can *afford* to go to school and learn philosophy and 'oh can you believe Aristotle came up with a logic system way back then, how impressive'. And even if the depression is real, its origin is this fake-a$s world we've fabricated, far from all things natural and harmonizing. We're people of the concrete, an urban species with its own new faults that never should've existed. And our tummies are softer than ever. A restaurant is a place to go eat food, not pay 50€ to taste intellectually captivating waters in "water bars". Dressing up in 100€ clothes our dogs. Our world is sick and has derailed from the plot long ago. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome only exists in the first world, you don't fkng see poor Bolivians or Congolese people with it; and 'adrenal fatigue' was dubbed the "21st century disease" by a famous contemporary doctor. Pollution, terrible quality of food, sur-exploitation, enormous stress at work or social occasions, the capitalistic disaster, over-stimulating, screens all day, everything this world has come to is incompatible with the human species we are, evolved primates/hominids with biological needs and essential requirements. Where do all those suicides and depressions come from ?? Why us, the "developed" societies ? What species manages to create problems for itself, invent a new platform to set its own self up for sickness ? About the 'man-up' approach, I'm just saying this life can get tough - tough as hell, it can... - but we need to be strong, strong as fk, that's what life is all about. You all have the strength in you, you just need to tap into it, and sometimes a good shakeup in your life is just what you need. I hate this saying coz it's so cheesy, but "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger", fkn cheesy but still true. Each time something rough happens to you, it's a blessing, because you don't improve from emotional inertia; everytime something bad happens, that's one more thing you'll overcome and can call personal conquest. But look, sometimes you've got a really rough period to go through, and you run into something on TV or online, and then you go 'you know what, thank God...things could be tons worse. Maybe what I have is real, and very very difficult, but fk it, I'm gonna man up. I'm gonna fight more and complain less and fit in with everybody else like I've got nothing.' Just check out this guy a little bit talking about his Progeria condition and how he actually manages to stay happy: [media=youtube]36m1o-tM05g[/media] God, or life, will impose tests on you. This is it, you don't get another fight. This is life and if you've got a real problem, show your mettle, it's your chance to beat the wrong: confidence and self-esteem, all that stuff is in your head. It's not real. [/QUOTE]
