ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL POST!!!

This post that I am quoting actually gave me the chills with how much TRUTH it has resonating in it!!!!

Parenting (or in the case of single moms, which has all in all killed the concept of what a "family" should be) has absolutely gone down the drain - thus all the messed up AFC's and all the messed up attention who0res, depressed people, and entitled princesses.

The ONLY reason that is EVER valid for a person to be depressed, is if someone close them dies - but that is called MOURNING, and you mourn for however long it takes, but then life becomes closer to normal again!!

Depression sounds like something that came along as a bonus when feminism took off.

Never before have more people been this depressed while at the same time being able to live as comfy and as easy a life as ever before in the history of mankind!!!

You are making the assumption that because people's lives are materially more comfortable, that they should be happy. Happiness is more of a mental state than a matter of keeping your body in a comfortable situation. While there isn't as much bodily suffering in western countries, there is more mental suffering. This is because there is no culture (which you alluded to when you referenced the lack of upbringing that most people have). People don't know how to control their thoughts or emotions, or live with purpose. Even people who do try to live with nobility and purpose face an increasing amount of alienation as the world descends further into degradation. Also worth mentioning is the isolation and lack of connectedness that many people feel--again due to lack of culture. This leads to very real mental suffering, as in, the opposite of happiness. It's not as severe as children starving in Africa or people getting their limbs blown off in war, but it's real nonetheless. To completely ignore these means that you lack compassion, which reflects poorly on your character. Usually people who have suffered a lot learn to develop compassion for the suffering of others.

BULL@$%a@#. I have compassion for those that deserve it and some stuck up daddy's girl B|TCH that is depressed because she isn't getting things her way has none of my compassion!

Stop making excuses for bad behavior. Kids in poor countries aren't drugged out on anti-depressants like they are here. The root of the problem go back on parenting and girls being spoiled since they are little. Not only are they spoiled in the home but they are spoiled in schools. It wasn't always this way back in the days of the great depression people had to be tough. When things get too good this is when people get spoiled and this is where things are headed with the economy once again.
