I would call it a lack of optimism. But a cat seemingly can't be optimistic. A dog, seeing his favorite activity about to be initiated, can be optimistic. Even a fish can seem optimistic upon being fed.
But no one thinks of these animals as being depressed. I saw my cat Iggy, who eventually became genetically blind, wander around in circles in the apartment, yowling.
My father died of depression and I don't know why. Everyone loved him and he loved everyone.
I'm hoping it was all the Nazis he killed who depressed him. Because he failed to kill more of them. That in itself would depress me.
Depression is healthy. If you were NOT depressed you would be sick.Society is crazy and unwholesome.It's all totally meaningless. Read this.

Hmmm . . . Ironman, just the word "depression" is depressing. Lots of people say negativity destroys.
ReplyDeleteThis treatise, while amazing, should be banned because it's so accurate.
I admit it: life is horror. It reminds me of a science-fiction story where some guy is awoken on a medical bed in a blind panic and is told that he was sentenced to Hell for a crime he committed, and now he has served his sentence.
His sentence?
Life on Earth.
