    This is seriously the sure-fire cure to feeling depressed. Seriously, I was feeling so depressed for no apparent reason tonight, as in, if anything I should be clinically undepressed but was still depressed for some reason, and this instantly brought me back.

    Gonna make it my life motto. It suits, no?

    If you're breathing, than you're okay.

    The meaning tilts a bit more to "it could be worse"

    If you're breathing, then things can get much worse...

    I don't know how my post derailed the thread :(

    It's a good motto, I'm just sawing "winning" makes it sound like everything is perfect, which usually isn't true.

    That is the problem with people never trying to look at things as positively as possible.

    You can only do so much for everyone and your not going to solve every ones problems so i would work on yourself above all else.

    Nothing is a crazy or as important as people make it seem and people put way too much importance on unimportant thing, remember that and you will be a lot less stressful. :wacko:

    If they're breathing they're probally happier than all of us depressed bedraggled enslaved capitalists. Since being able to breath over there for more than 40 years is a blessing in itself.

    That motto isn't good because you ultimately lose at life because you stop breathing before you die...Unless you get an explosive shell hitting you in the head...

    Well, I am happy to hear you are not a depressed person. Personally, I think "winning" makes it sound weird. Just what exactly are you winning if you are breathing?

    Haven't got time to chat at the moment, but, if you may or may not have read, this was a cure for depression, not poverty, sickness and slavery.

    And yes, I am aware of the situations in those countries, and more. I do the 40 Hour Famine each year, personally sponsor a child in Bangladesh and ask for a donation to charity for birthdays and Christmas. At the age of seventeen, I think it's safe to say I'm doing what I can to help.

    You're winning at life, Darktemplar. You're winning at life! :p

    I do have an idea of whats going on over there ste and bthammer (Knowing what its "All about" seems abit of a sweeping term ...) though i don't know what you originally meant in connection to itza's mental health since i don't think starving himself will do him much good. =P.

    If i can win at life forever i don't care what else i'm winning at (Would a life support system on you while your technically dead count?).

    While, you wouldn't be breathing under your own strength, so you've lost?
