yeah sure life has no real meaning but, come on man, it is amazing. I have been down the depression road real bad and still battle with it everyday (whee cymbalta sure helps .

Things that really help depression are exercise, having a job you don't hate, getting out and going out of your way (not too far out of your way).

You gotta be aware of the astronomical importance of the fact that you are alive. It's not your duty to worry about all the stress in the world. You have to keep your head up and go get what you want. No matter how fucked up the world is, you are alive and you don't have much time here anyways.

You also have to be humble, keep yourself in check and always be on yourself to think straightforward and logically. We are animals living within a cage called human society, and all animals want to be free. You can't dwell on what it would be like if you were dead, you can't let the thought of suicide become your safety blanket for when you feel like shit.

Then is the same as now so you will always have good times and you will always have bad times. There is no point in dwelling on the bad just go with the flow and before you know it everything will be OK.

Appreciate the fact that you can see, smell, touch, taste and hear. Don't worry about the bullshit in the world, don't worry about nothin cause nothin is gonna be alright.

Beside's every viable young man and woman will be drafted to go fight the death wars in the middle east in a matter of years anyways.
