Absolutely right again

<font color=red>I honestly feel that you are wanting to control something that you can't control. Some people, like you said, don't want to be saved. </font color=red>

Thanks for the reminder

Some of the ideas I've expressed are fresh off the press. They may need fine tuning, but I honestly feel we've been slipping into lethargy as a society for several decades because of all our modern "conveniences." I put "conveniences" in quotes because at the same time it's made our life easier, it's made our life more difficult. It seems we've lost the ability or initiative to be self reliant. I'm making the assertion that lethargy is a boost to depression and if I needed to, I'm confident I could find professional support for my opinion.

All I'm suggesting is that we consider the ideas. It's not my intention to prosylitize my beliefs, I'm trying as equally as anyone to see my way thru the murk.

I'm guilty of trying to "think" my way out of depression as much as the next person. I've been told by therapists that for some of us, it can't be done because of a chemical imbalance. I'm not a Dr., but I feel it's possible the imbalance is in some cases caused by deficient response to real controversy. In other words, trying to "think" our way out of a physical problem. Physical because my body, as well as my mind, is in a depressive situation. Signals are sent to my brain to "act." Thinking is not a physical action. Doing is.

Any thoughts?
