I have my suspicion that it’s down to having been imbued with a philosophy of life wherein anything negative that happens to you is seen as material to be discarded and/or disowned. Actually, that’s like requiring that one have nothing in one’s diet that forms roughage. One insists on tasting only that which seems good to the palate. It has to taste sweet and smooth and go down easily. Only, what tastes sweet and smooth and goes down easily leads to diabetes. So one takes medication in order to keep the diabetes under control. Having convinced oneself that one has one’s bodily machine in order, one then ventures forth to the chocolate factory for a gigantic binge. One believes oneself preserved and protected from any harm afflicted by one’s tastes and actions.
I think people need to redevelop a taste for roughage if they don’t want to become depressed. Enough difficulty and challenge mixed with the sweeter flavors of life can actually prevent one from sinking into depression. If one has a problem that one simply has to solve, one will not experience overwhelming depression.
People are cynical about this fact, because they think it’s just a way of lying to them and sugar-coating negativity. The problem is their philosophy of life is so cynical and to this extent so negative, they can’t understand what is being said.
