that's the value of depression

fuguer sounds easier then it is

I climbed mt Whitney last year

@fuguer ok boomer

Yeah it may not be easy but it’s possible

I dont want to hear about endless possibilities from a dude who married an Asian not gonna front

comfort breeds weakness

That was my choice you can make different ones

But it’s a cope to just say life is depressing

Your choice is also to sit on adderall and anti depressants

You can change your life. May not be easy but you can

So evidently your life choices dont matter as much as drugs do

Drugs are one way to change your perspective

Not the only way

Right, so you can do it without them?

shiddded pisssddd and commdd

Yes I was married and had six figure jobs without any drugs

But were you happy?

Material wealth does not imply prosperity

No. Adderall helped me focus on fixing my problems rather than wasting time playing games or other distractions

I find this overt optimism disturbing. You create problems for yourself when you desire things that you don't have. If you accept life for what it is, there are no problems.

That’s Buddhism

I'm basically a Buddhist.

I see the complete rejection of desire as a rejection of life

happy is not the final goal or destination. This is the idealism of the consumer materialist brain washed by edward burnays.

I think that philosophy makes sense of your a poor peasant in the 12th century

joo

So if you cant do it without any chemicals dilating your reality and your perception of it dont be a boomer to me about how I should just change my life

But today we have a lot of options to change our life

If your life is depressing you should change it

And if you’re a NEET or miserable you should be waking up every day like your life is an emergency and try to solve the problem

Contentment is far more valuable and can be an attainable goal through balanced life

Not just accept it

happiness is a drug

I've done a shitload of good in my life considering the hand I was dealt. I'm going to keep going, naturally. But that doesnt mean that doing any of it will bring me any joy. I'm sacrificing all of myself for a future where I can possibly have a family and give my all to my kids and wife. If I cant have that I will just give my all to my parents.

I'm not a neet

Good

I find that another way to change your mindset is to travel
If you travel for 1 month throughout India,
you'll have too much to think about than to focus on your life problems.. booking your hotel, finding and booking buses to your next city, overnight train traveling.. etc..
Also you'll see plenty of people who are REALLY in need.. and that all of the problems you thought were important, really are insignificant.

Yeah sometimes life takes sacrifice but you should see a goal at the end that is happy and motivates you
