theiwantsong 09/22/20 2:48:47 PM #42:	coh posted... I mean yeah we do. People don't realize how good they have it People overestimate how good people have it. They take a look around and say, "We have smartphones, tons of convenience via tinder, and grubhub, and you name it." and think things are amazing. There is some truth to that, but we fail to measure abstractions like meaning and self-purpose. There's a reason why so many people commit suicide nowadays. I think part of that reason is their exposure to so many people. They're demotivated when they see so much greatness in all the people around them (thanks to the Internet). Also the wealthy class is taking a lot of opportunity away from people. <cite>theiwantsong posted [p:944948123] in We live in...

Also the wealthy class is taking a lot of opportunity away from people. Depression has evolved pretty much. Miserable people looking up and following other miserable peoples nagative lives, storys, drama or etc to feel good that they aren't alone in suffering, but in reality it's just creates a negative feedback loop that eventually spirals out or control. The internet just makes this easier then ever, and mainstream media doesn't help either, but honestly their just giving the people what they want. --- 3DS FC:3368-5403-9633 Name: Kaizer PSN: Blackkaizer <cite>Prismsblade posted [p:944948673] in We live in...
