You know what? I have been depressed for a while, well have been switching in and out of modes regarding depression and other modes. And ive realized that depression is being created and manifested because of DRONES. When i say drones, i mean people who are very "normal" and really dont stop to think about things. I used to be like this when i was younger (all kids are drones). A great example of a drone is your average catholic (i am catholic and i am not trying to say anything against them but this is a true reality here). They go to church on sunday and consider themselves catholics yet as soon as they step out of the threshold of the church doors they get parking lot car rage, sware at there spouse when they get home, all of the sorts. Yet, how can they consider themselves catholics if they mearly perform their sunday ritual and then are evil in public. my best friend is an atheist and lots of catholics were making fun of him for it (hey, wake up ur catholics ur not supposed to be making fun of people), and yet the athiest is more of a "catholic" than the catholics in a sense that he is a better person. And thinks about what he does before he does things that hurts (emotionally or phisically) other people.
Anyway i hope you get that point, a drone is someone who is very materialistic, "infected by society", and doesn't think much about there surrounding and just goes with the flow. These are not bad people either though, i have another good friend who is a drone and hes alot of fun, but i dont dare bring up anything intellectual with him. But the fact is, is that most people are becomeing these "drones", and it leads them to follow the current "virus" of society which when looked at in an intellectual manner is quite "evil". People are very unaccepting of weird thoughts if it is not supported by strong confidence (which unfortuanatly depressed people do not have).
For this reason we (depressed people) are not able to have much say in society and hardly exist in reality due to our lack of confidence. But confidence is not really needed when talking to a fellow depressed person. We need to realize that the drones are just drones and dont even care about us, and we need to unite in a sense. There are others like u and me. Many. But because we have very little representation that is not evident at all.
Drones will follow the populous and if we are able to unite and show areselves in numbers, they will not think we are so weird and might even be able to be converted. It is really hard for me to explain myself, but i know i am on to something, my other good non-drone friend agrees with my ideas, they are just so hard to explain. If you have any idea as to what i am trying to say, have experienced this yourself, or want a better explaination feel free to email me at proton12@aol.com.Futhermore, if u think i am some type of wierdo because of this, i am sorry for my bad explaination, but i know i am not a weirdo, i just think alot. in fact too much so that it annoys me. I'm going to work on writting my thoughts more cleary so that others will be able to understand it, so if you are interested, email me and ill email u a better explaination, if no one emails me i will asume that this was a totally terrible explaination and will try extremely hard to make a better one. Anyway, if you are depressed, i hope you see that there isn't such a reason to be and there are many people like u, and peace be with you.
