Logically Depressed

Hey folks, look to the sky, that bird floating above the clouds is the divine seagull. These graceful fliers may look unphased by the troubles of life, but wait until they touch down, and it’s a different story. When you see one on the ground they’ll usually be in tatters from having to fend off and procure food from their hostile and greedy friends. It could make anyone think they ended up that way from tumbling down in a near deadly crash. Alas, life in the dirt is rough, we get up, we fight, we stay up, we fight, every once in a while we fly away, knowing the fight will find us another day. We savor the peaceful soar, avoiding the lion’s roar, until one day, we won’t return, and flap away, breaking through the floor, of the heavenly, forevermore.

My life was fairly standard until I entered college and was taking to an assignment in accounting, when suddenly I was shaken to question my blind slavishness of school; and shortly after, my life as a whole. I had rough experiences growing up and was bullied alot in elementary school and high school. Having switched schools a fair number of times I twice went from being praised as a hero to falling flat on my face as an outcast. My poor social skills with not being outgoing didn’t allow me to reproduce good social standing in school. These hero-to-zero crashes were traumatic.

I never really questioned the life cycle that our society perpetuates until a later age, for the most part being absent-minded and somewhat going through the motions of completing large homework loads, and dealing with vindictive, envious and childish teachers. I feel sorry for the younger people on here who are discovering the harsh realities of life early on. I wish I could transplant the untainted and uncaring mind I had for the first twenty years of my life onto them. It would be helpful to have this kind of mindset until later years, when eventually you could come to learn the truth in a less devastating manner.

Some people here get down on themselves and feel worthless, but let me say that I think you are all beautiful souls that should feel value simply for reaching the conclusions that you’ve reached. I would take an enlightened suicidal over an apathetic lifer any day.

I myself, do not suffer from the chemical imbalance of depression, and for this reason my thoughts and prayers go out to those sufferers. I have for some time experienced physical pain in the form of constant nagging pain that I need to attend to. It is rather unpleasant to say the least. This is the battle I deal with but it wouldn’t be so unbearable if society was more accommodating. Can we all at least consider that if society simply provided our basic needs that we could all live out our miserable existences until we reach the afterlife or annihilation; either of which is a desirable end. The fact that society hasn’t gotten up to speed with optimizing happiness after 3,000 years is a depressing thought in itself and is a failure of colossal proportions.

Considering that our minds are compelled into mental slavery, worldly inconveniences that we need to attend to are all around us, and we experience high degrees of cognitive dissonance from the world around us, this has led me to be logically depressed. I mean let’s be honest, I legitimately believe that the people here on SP could do a better job running the world than these bozos who seem to be actively working against the welfare of humanity. Well maybe one day this will be a reality.
