I agree that our society is incomplete. It is the sensitive people who are bothered enough by it to become depressed. The "well" don't give a rats behind about whats really missing and go on in their lives in presuit of pleasure.
For instance, cutting in children is on the rise. That scares the hell out of me. That scares the absolute hell out of me. They're not imballanced, but we are trying to shove our rat race lifestyle in their face but they can't handle it. So when adults feel like lifes more than they can handle, they simply have to watch a comercial to undergo the (admittedly short lived) paradigm shift that maybe they are seeing the world wrong, and that the problem is in their preception. And that prozac will fix it, and make their problems go away.
There are a few outcomes to this.
a) They will natuarally adapt to their situation
(ie get better on their own) attribute it to
the ADb) They will never adapt to their situation
and blame it on the ADc) They will be stuck as a perpetual memeber
of the "placebo of the month" club
Its like "The emperors new cloths". All the adults sat there and pretended something was there, but it took a kid to point out the obvious.
There are square pegs in this community. And when we try and ram them into round holes stuff is going to come up.
Its all about creating socially aceptable personalities. Thats why serotogenics are so popular because serotonin civilizes people.
If there are chemically imballenced people, they are few and far between.
Just like I don't believe that half the class should be on ritalin. If half the class is "chemically imballanced" that says something about the system.
