Depressive "realism" is the greatest curse of our age. Everyone has their bouts of depression, but it's incredibly pathetic to see people decscend into delusions of grandeur - that they can see everything better than everyone else because they don't care, and hate and sadness are somehow regarded as less biasing emotioms than prevailing positivity. Mark Fisher was especially guilty of this, essentially complaining in Capitalist Realism that his coworker was an uninformed pleb because Fisher was jealous other's could be happy. Depression is the disease of people that don't have either the will-power or the intelligence to push through and understand that moping about will not change the world or themselves. I mean this in a positive way anon: get a grip you lazy cunt. You've seen that the world can be beautiful when you want to see it that way, now just work to realise that seeing the sadness isn't a virtue - it's a waste of your talent and time. Society may cause depression, but only you perpetuate it. Regardless of the truth of that statement, you'll remain a miserable bastard till the day you embrace it.

Read The Third Policeman. It's about a young writer that finds the world absurd and depressing, yet you the reader can do naught but laugh as he continues his cycle of misery. That is how life must be viewed, you've got to accept absurdity and enjoy the small things. Picrel is the small things that never fail to make me happy.
