Depression is meaningful. The more I think about this the more it sounds right. Before one considers that they are nihilistic one might check with their emotions. Sociopaths, for instance, are incapable of experiencing emotion, and thus, empathy. If depression drives one towards connecting with others - even if it is nonverbally - it is meaningful. It is an expression of the human condition. And it is not nihilistic. Yeah, so I rather am getting turned on by the idea of depression as a "this, and not that" pointing of the finger at the moon.

Everyone on this thread has heart/soulfulness.


So many beautiful pointing fingers...(Yes, you too, Amicus!)
