Because in today's one-minute relationship extravaganza, with the multitudes encountered every day, blow the breath of kindness to get rid of the majority with whom you do not care to develop a moments relationship again.

This is a skill that needs training, refining, and keeping. Thank you, old soldierfadingfast!

and I agree that this is a skill that need training.

of DU and the purpose it serves for so many of us.

Today is one of those days when I need all the love I can get1

of your posts, I think that years and years ago, you and I were reading a lot of the same things. lol

I'm more depressed and with less hope. No quote will fix that.

that you are depressed. And yes, you are right, a 'quote' will not fix it; nor will telling you to "just snap out of it".
You may need help beyond anything we here on DU can do.
Are you seeking professional help?
For what it is worth; as one who studied Psych for a BS, I think you may need some counseling.

and it's from a place I deal with often. I could throw out some philosophy or short meaningless colloquialisms which is nothing but ramblings and justifications for a situation that is so terrible it is hard to explain/express. something along the lines of cheer up, get a grip, move on, or so on.
But when I have tried to find a different mindset it is fragile.
I do like to find humor but while you are in "that place" it seems thin, and pointless, and I just go back to just trying to stay neutral and get myself nourishments and pedal around with what I have brought my life to.
Mainly though, I try to negotiate life onward with as little or as small of an impact possible.
Maybe what it is for me is depression as well, but I just go on with whatever it can be described or analyzed as, and go about my business and live day by day.

And to tell you the absolute truth this doomsday depressing feeling is politically related. The clowns in the white house have everything to do with it.

I read your comment and had to chuckle. It was good to hear someone say something that I was thinking.
That said, I do love DU. Without it I would be clueless about what was happening in the world like many people around me. Ignorance is bliss?

in essence, why we are all HERE.

Community is a part of Resistance. So is keeping our fighting spirits up. DU helps with both. It is easy to slip into despair, but we can not afford to. We have to keep fighting. Thanks for the good post.

for saying out loud what I am thinking!
