So what if we he was depressed?
Maybe he is depressed, or in the process of trying to get over depression. At some point, most people have this epiphany. His may be now. If so, I'm happy for him.
There's a part of me that wouldn't understand the gravity of this post because I never had an unhealthy obsession with stuff in the first place. I grew up with stuff and never had to go without. I enjoy hitting the sport button in my car and going zoom zoom.
Sometimes that obsession really messes people up and they truly suffer from it. They're not always as happy-go-lucky as you or I. Maybe it's harder for them to just get by.
I know enough people who didn't grow up with running water and went hungry as a kid to know that some people's attachment to stuff and financial security is a lot more profound and rooted in something much deeper. It's a lot harder for them to just enjoy the ride because a lot of that ride has been a real struggle.
I don't know this person's story, but I hope he finds peace and balance.
- askafriend 3y agoAs others have mentioned, this post gives off strong "I’m 14 and this is deep" vibes. I think you're projecting your own experience onto a post that is low quality and not that interesting. Judging by the fact that it's flagged, I think others agree.
- steego 3y agoI understood the vibes it was giving off. Initially, it wasn't very interesting to me because I didn't relate to it. But then, I remembered I have friends and family who've shared this epiphany well into their adulthood, some in their 70s and 80s. The epiphany itself isn't very interesting, but exploring the different reasons why it takes some people so much longer than others to experience this epiphany takes one down some interesting paths. That was my point.
