Brooding over the future
And repenting the past,
The unwise wither like green reed
Cut down and left in the sun.

'I have had many problems,

most of them never happened',

an old writer said.

Advantages of using a learned language instead of the 'mother tongue' learned at a young age.

The first language we learn as children is more automatic and one is not usually as cautious in its usage as with a different language which was learned. The latter can be used more structurally, like programming, therefore it has to be used with caution and care. It has its advantages even if it may not be as correct grammatically or stylistically.

Work your socks off, sleep little, burn the candle at both ends, struggle and steal a lot, have a fat bank account, buy a beautiful mansion, build an empire.. and die.

Does it make sense?

X: Why do you say people don't care about their children really when they feel they are British or Italian? They do care, you know how much effort does it take to feed a child, earn money to pay for the school, etc.? They work their asses off to make ends meet. They don't have time for playing around..
Y: Wait a moment.. But they feel elation when the national hymn is being played! They feel pride when the tanks are on parade. Is that sane?
They entertain themselves with that organized circus falsely called 'religion'. They have numerous unfounded beliefs. Is that intelligent?
They have conflict in their daily life, the wife and husband quarrel daily, each having their own opinions and desires. Is that normal?

Depression is based on non-functional thinking. Therefore the only cure from depression is to be free from non-functional thinking. It does not mean trying to stop it.

It means perceiving all sound in the brain, at the same time with perceiving light (the whole visual field perceived in the brain) and gravity, also at the same time, right now. And if thoughts happen, perceiving them as well as sounds. It is possible, without effort.

It is instantaneous freedom.

There is no other true cure from depression, only Unitary Perception.

The ways of the world, beauty of the body, money, position, have power over me only if I care about them, if I compare.
