Why are Americans so depressed?

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Because Americans are dishonest, contradictory and entitled

We want to be rich but we dont want to work
We want women to be sexy but shame them for having sex
WS want to be racist, but them claim "we are all the same" when pressed

Etc.

Hell you can see it just on this forum; the philosophies people subscribe to are convuluted nonsense they get red in the face trying to explain and defend. How can you make sense out of nonsense?

Then when someone figures shyt out and makes things happen, typical American makes excuses and hates. Look at all the garbage spewed at the 1%. I know a breh who went from a village in Ghana to making half a million a year as a doctor. Who did he take anything from? America is a place where everyone makes excuses for their personal failures.

75% of our day is work, (little sleep) and commuting. The rest is distractions for the most part.

We work to pay bills and live to work.

 

[Samori Toure]

How does living paycheck to paycheck or not knowing how you're going to make rent this month give you a peace of mind

There are people that are filthy rich that don't have peace of mind. There are middle class people that can pay their bills that don't have peace of mind. That is why there is so much drug and alcohol usage. People are not at peace in their mind.

Look at this PROUD BLACK BRIT, y'all.
You live in the grandfather of institutionalized racism.
Tell me about black homeownership and business ownership in the UK:

Thanks.

alot of mental illness/issues. Most are dealing with mental illness and such along with trying to provide, most of the week filled with work, not enough sleep, personal time. As someone above also mentioned those that have it, arent at peace

So where's the excuse for the kids that get gunned down over there? or the guys that get false sentences? what about them?

Because this way of living is unnatural.

Those are not typical outcomes. Shame on you for presenting them as such. In any case, on the other end of those transgressions is someone who fits the mold of what I'm talking about. Happy self accountable people aren't committing murder or falsely imprisoning people

.

The majority of americans are overworked and underpaid. In fact the 80 or so percent of the population that make 30k or below work their ass off


So this is not factual


Working ur ass off and having nothing to show for it might be why they're depressed

The prison industrial complex says otherwise

Judging by whats been happening these past several months.. I think we need to revisit this thread

You either work too much where you can't enjoy life or you work too little where you cant enjoy life...

 

[Miles Davis]

We need better safety nets and improve people’s quality of life. Makes no sense how life is so miserable for many as a result of money.

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

Rich people are depressed because they are hedonistic, lack spirituality and deep connections

Poor people are depressed due to the grind of capitalist America and the dreams they are sold. BUT they are also hedonistic, and a lot of the young ones also lack spirituality and deep connections

SO we need to get this paper and be mindful to keep your indulgence in check, keep family and friends close and always keep developing yourself intellectually, physically, financially, and spiritually. Then you are really winning

Poor countries have people who still have hope for something better because they dont see what comes with those things they want so bad. It's why young people are so optimistic on things, they never experienced what comes with adulthood, and responsibility,

People here can see these things everyday, but they also see what comes with them such as JEALOUSY, ENVY, gluttony, and greed, these things create weak people which ultimately brings sadness

If you can be happy, and have discipline, in a place where you can easily weaken yourself from excess pleasure being available, that is when you find true happiness.
