hello all, i'd like to join in on the conversation, but the main point i feel important
for me to share is somewhat "antagonistic" to the general atmosphere.
"Coping" with adverse circumstances is admirable. it is wonderful to discover
techniques that enable continued progress through difficulties, and to share
those ~ fantastic!
my concern is that after this plateau is reached, we might become contented
and not complete the job.
by formalizing a series of coping mechanisms, there is the possibility that we
could be "stabilizing" the problem, entrenching it into permanence.
i don't feel that depression is something that we'll want to make permanent
(i do not believe that it occurs "naturally", nor that we cannot eradicate it).
for every effect, there is a cause.
identifying the cause is our key to understanding.
with that understanding, we can eliminate the problem.
additionally, i don't think cynicism is gonna be a very useful tool.
