As for me being depressed, i've come to a conclusion that my lack of will to attempt to live a normal life, is driven by deep frustrations about the way that our society works, and generally, human nature as a whole. I've lost faith in people, though came to an equilibrium, not depressed or suicidal, never really angry, or maniacal, never really excited, outgoing, but only to those who deserve it, shit, i need to stop boring you. On, to catch up with other replies...

Hi Alexander,

If I may be so bold as to offer advice, this is off topic, but: Life is good. I say that in spite of having experienced tragedy that hurts a lot and never goes away even after many years. I say that in spite of the horrors that take place. The world is a place for each of us to play a role. You can make a good difference and so can I. It is only a matter of deciding that that is the role we choose. Make things better for others to the degree that you can. Advance knowledge to the degree that you can. Cherish freedom even though freedom requires each of us to remain vulnerable. Use freedom to make the kind of difference that lives after you. The world is not a completely terrible place because there are a great many people that use their time here to make it better. Join with them. They are worth knowing and so are you. I do not think you are boring; I think rather that I did not take the time to get to know you.
