This Life existence has no spark as you say in this video. It just is...
Life, in this plane of existence, has no place for higher evolved spirits. We just live the best we can... waiting.
Sounds rather cold.. I know. But when you look @ the Earth openly and see what the human species rage unto the planet you will then see my point openly. We have created a monster of a system that knows one thing. -"Kill to Survive."
It is ashamed that humans still breed to bear children into this domain.
NO,NO, NO! All being is suffering. And you would have them go after it happy? The ego picks up, the ego falls off, the ego picks up... OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. And ALWAYS as I, I, I. THAT is the meaning of reincarnation, the indefinite cycling wrought by Karma- your bright and happy promise of new day. Heaven and Hell- both are flawed. But at least in Hell, there is no FALSE HOPE. The Buddhist extinguishes desire, casts off the ego, and rests at the center of the wheel.
Belfastfreethinker has it right. Defiance is huge. I do not believe that anger is unhealthy - it's a human emotion, and therefore necessary. It's the physical application of it to do harm to another that's destructive. It's an energy that leads to defiance and necessary emotional defense. More importantly though - Humor, irony, literature and art are very important and get me up in the morning, and keep me sane throughout the day. Empathy is big, too. Not enough characters to say more...
Making good friends, which the lack of was one of the reasons I lacked hope. Finding something constructive to use my life for, making beauty and other people happy. And I still have Asperger's so I would really like to use words more concrete; empty~fulfilled...
Wow, this video gave me a chill. I was depressed through much of my life and on the edge of suicide a number of times, but what always brought me back was thinking that I wouldn't let "them" win; them being those in my childhood who just about ruined me. It was a huge struggle, but I'm happy now. I've even managed to forgive "them." Forgiving was actually very helpful as I was finally able to let go of a lot of the pain and anger. Anger not dealt with is a major factor in depression.
@PhyllisSophical thanks for you comments and sharing your struggle. I am glad that in the darkest time in your life you chose life rather than wanting to end the emotional suffering at any cost. Several of my patients that I see
by chance out in the community have come up to me and stated how happy they were that they hung on because they are leading happier lives.
When I was sick w/bipolar disorder, my husband would keep telling me that the bizarre paranoia & crying spells were just a product of my illness. He'd say, "Your brain is dumping chemicals in the wrong ways to make you think life is hopeless. But you will get better. It will just take the right meds & coping skills." This helped me to hope again. And as you know, my faith in God was the most critical factor. The meds keep me sane, but they are not what has restored my soul. That was my LORD.
depression has (almost) nothing to do with history.
one can have a seemingly perfect life, and be depressed (depressed ppl always seem to have a good reason to be so).
another can be is a very bad place, and yet, not feel depressed at all (thoes kind of ppl always seem to find reason to, maybe not cheerfull, but at least, to "wake up in the morning").
depression is a state of mind, I wouldn't be as ignornet as to say that you "choose" to be depressed, but there is no "reason" to be so.
For me it's defiance Every day I live I steal from death It took a near-fatal bout of pneumonia to force me to confront and reject the narrative of victimhood Am I in mental pain?Always. Is there hope? It's hard to see it Why go on?When the lights go out it's forever It's a struggle. I survived a murder bid so every day I live is revenge Getting my degree was a victory So is getting out of bed or writing. Is there hope? It's hard to feel such a thing Instead I just go on and refuse victimhood
@belfastfreethinker - I'm with you. Defiance is HUGE. A refusal to be a victim and a refusal to give in to self-pity are very important and life- and energy-giving motivations. Respect!
The short answer is "yes." And what inspired me to go on was sheer, bloody-minded determination to succeed, because my success was the biggest FU I could ever offer to certain people in my past. :)

In a disposable, consumer based society what good are broken or warn out people ?
Even if you are older, if you aren't shiny, trendy and vintage you aren't valued

Simple, plodding on through the pain and despair is preferable to the non-existence that is death.
