>Ok tell me where is this all sadness and depression originated from? Is "my life does not go the way I want it to go" not the only reason for it? Can you name any other reason? That's so broad a reason to cover everything. Since any kind of "need help" situation would be automatically also a "my life does not go the way I want it to go" situation, no matter how legitimate it is. But a phrase like "my life does not go the way I want it to go" makes it sound like people would ever need help, feel depressed etc for frivolous reasons -- like "my life does not go the way I want it to go, I wanted to be rock star and I'm not", or "my life does not go the way I want it to go, I want to sit at home, play videograms, and not have to work", or "my life does not go the way I want it to go, I want all the women to want me" etc. There's also unemployment, disease (including cancer), loss of somebody, accident, and all kinds of other things people need help to get over. Can some get over them by themselves alone? Sure. But having to do, and considering asking for help a weakness, makes for a worse society, of selfish distrustful loners, with no compassion for others, no solidarity, and ultimately, just a bunch of individuals, not a community or a society. Does that mean that people should also try all their best to help themselves (and not just expect all the help from others)? Of course. |
Did I say something like this?
