I just had an epiphany.
Maybe we are trying to cure something that we really don't want to cure.
It's been my experince that people who suffer from depression tend to be a little smarter than the average person.
Are there any Classic Twilight Zone fans out there? It was a time before high graffics, when story had to have substance.
There was a lady who went to have plastic surgery on her face. When she took off the bandages, she was beautiful. All the nurces and doctors had horrorible faces. They screemed an ran because they thought she was hideous. She was beautiful, but different from them.
I think we are like that. We are the brightness of the world. We are so bright that the world appears dark.
Someone once said Ignorance is bliss. That isn't bliss, that is evil, and dangerous. I can tell you what bliss is, though. Stupid is very blissfull. When I fall in love, my hormones rush, creating dopamine. Then, I am blissful and stupid. When I am with my grandchildren, my intelect sinks to their level, and I am in bliss. To get "normal" we have to find the medication that dumbs us down, so, we can be blissful. We see the hopelessness of the world as it truly is. That is why we feel the way we do.
But, I have more news. The world is utter CHAOS. You are too smart for your own good. You think you know your future, and it is set in stone. I wish it were that simple. You really don't know where your going to be one day from now, let alone a month or a year. You have no clue who you are going to be, or who you will be with either. You are really smart. But not that smart. I hope someone can wrap their brains around this.
