Oldschool,
I used to think exactly the same as you. I used to hate everyone [including myself] for being lazy, ignorant western tossers - ignoring the plight of the environment and the third world. Owning a car was enough for me to be disgusted with someone - how could someone be so selfish as to spend 30 grand on a car when they could give that to charity? - they don't *really* need a car, they could get a cheap scooter or bicycle.I no longer think that way. This is because I've found meds that make me less depressed. It was not a rational part of my personality, it was a powerful mental illness distorting my view of life. I strongly suspect that should you find meds that lift you out of the horrid murk that you are in, you will find your opinions changing and become more balanced. It happens without effort on your behalf.
That's how it was for me anyway.
Cheers,
pete
