I'm not convinced that this forum provides enough evidence to overturn my life experience and many thousands of people known, both Irl and online, regarding most people being somewhat miserable. I'm happy to accept that plenty aren't, at any one time, all that miserable.

It's interesting that depression might be something other than what I though it was, though. So, if I'm bored most of the time, but not actually feeling very sad or depressed, that is still depression? How is depression then different to boredom? And can such depression simply be cured by having lots to do, then?
