Damn i don't want Reddit to be my destiny

Be depressed, so you can gain motivation to cheer others on

I feel absolutely worthless right now. Wish I had someone or some way to help me feel a little more like I fit in here

You're correct!

He was one of the great things about San Francisco. There was always the possibility of seeing him just, y’know, out and about. Or at some event for a good cause where he’d show up just to give a boost to everyone and help raise more funds.

Excellent👏📷

And if the glass seems to be glued to your hand, maybe you need to get it checked out.

A weird little tidbit: Depression takes away a lot from a person, but for many (most?) sufferers, the sense of humour remains intact. It's a great help in maintaining social connections, and coping with the stress of the condition.

I lived most of my life like this, but now I'm at a point where everyone else is even lower on my priority list than myself - they never reciprocate or even value what you do for them, because as much as it means to you, they can't relate and it doesn't mean much to them

Thanks a lot for everyone pointing out that this was by Alexis Carrel (as stated in the title :D)!

I was hoping to see this linked. I had read it a while ago and it did a great job of explaining what happened. Thank you for sharing it.

wow

What?

I like this quote but what exactly is it motivating me to do?

would he be for or against the vaccine? any biters?

I dunno, this doesn't sound like something Lao Tzu would have written. It feels a lot more Buddhist than Taoist.

I can't believe it has been almost 9 years wince we lost a legend. That's insane.

Never forgot this quote when I first heard it. It’s so incredibly insightful and sad at the same time.

It must’ve been so hard for him having Tourette’s and Down’s Syndrome at the same time

The guy who thought of this was a virgin because when it comes to making a mini me I don't call it suffering.

In Robin's case history, he admits to having had depression, at least according to his widow, please see the article.

Kinda makes sense. But going through a lot of stress and worries the last few days (to the point where I’m physically throwing up) I don’t have a single clue how to put it down.
