Fwd: sociatry821

[thana ag]

Dear Ed,
Sorry that you feel despair.
I think despair is "good"! If more people will  take less prozac and  accept 
that their despair,depression  may have something to do with reality: 
working hard to consume ever more, being defined by  "net worth", 
disregarding how their behaviour affects others,the enviornment, etc  
-perhaps there would be a chance for each of us to become a therapeutic 
agent to another: consume more love and compassion , less fuel(especially if 
the former will come with no fees attached...)
I liked the last exchange between you and Adam.
