')You wimps want to check out because we are running short of energy, the environment is sick, and Trump won the election. You haven't even got a good excuse for angst, let alone depression.
I tend to agree. Most of their suffering is from social isolation, primarily caused by the same machine they are using to reach out with.
Most could be helped by becoming joiners - volunteer orgs, homeless shelter hash slingers, hospital bed pan cleaners, etc.
It is hard to see the world going by two by two, and know you are going back to your keyboard alone.
So like my parents used to tell me --- get the hell out of your room, and go play outside.
I totally agree as well. This is why I sometimes suggest that hell is not where we are heading but what we will leave behind. Angst and depression bloom when the body is unengaged and the mind is left to worry and chase dark shadows. Modern cyber culture promised connectivity but gave us isolation, each of us a private king in our cyber castle.
