I know what you mean,
In the past I believe society functioned
more as a family, and peoples emotions
were addressed more by the public.

100 years ago, they didn't have antidepressants
but they did have religion that nobody doubted.
This can make a big difference. It seems today
that people just do whatever they want, and it it bothers you than it must be your problem.
I am normally distubed by violent and sexually
explicit TV for example, it seems that chemically normal is serene and calm and just let all problems pass by regardless of their importance.

A vision that really depresses me is something
I once saw on a Record Album Cover, I don't know what band it was but it had a picture of a man on a lawnchair in the middle of a super poluted city environment it said "crisis,? what crisis"

It's so true, for me I think there are things about the world that need to be changed, and I want to do it so bad, but when I think of my powerlessness, I get depressed.

My grandmother who suffered from depression, would sit in a chair in the courner for 8-10 months of a year. That what she did. She had 4
major depressions and sat through each one. Not very fun. It fills me with tremendous respect though.
