thank you sunrise

i spend a lot of time in speculation... i've wondered myself why depression has become so prominent in our society (i'm sorry, i didn't notice your resident country). i've wondered before, is there a rational explanation? is it the high glitz advertizing campains making us all feel less than hollywood-esque? what about the "keeping up with the jones's theories that used to be talked about. is depression the result?

i have to think at least for some it may be so...

then other recent world events and my countrys' role (america). am i sad about it? not trying to politically analyse but dang, war is depressing...

i get sad when others suffer. are they suffering because they fall into the "have-not" category? is it all a slow downhill slide?

i want to look on the bright side. i think your "adaptive" therioes have merit. for me, depression is a sign something is wrong. if you are right, will we rise above? or is it all too late already? now boy, that's depressing...

thank you again for your serious and thoughtful reply
