Its impossibile for us to look back at our life and realize that it was not worth living. because thats not how nostalgia works. nostalgia means that you look back at an almost forgotten age, wich may was awful but you associate that age with the propably small amount of good things wich you also experienced

Pain

[@casper6741]

My twenties were also full of suffering, least the beginning was. I don’t remember much after that outside of all the bar hoppin I did. I took Peter Griffin’s advice “ let’s go drink til we forget we have emotions” and by god I did just that. I shouldn’t have though, I should had been brave and faced my pain head on but I was a bloody coward who felt overwhelmed and didn’t know how to process it in a mature manner. I may talk like I’m old but that was only 12 years ago. Truth is it still bothers me but I understand now that I have to take each day a step at a time and on my own terms. I wish you all the very best in whatever troubles you so deeply.

Fun tidbit: The reason your life tends to flash before your eyes before you die is because your brain is desperately searching memories for a potential solution to the problem you're facing. Edit: It's been over 4 years now, and goodness there have been so many replies. I feel I should clarify something. I believe I wrote my initial comment with too much absolute certainty. In truth what I wrote is just a hypothesis to try and explain why some people experience seeing their life flash before their eyes when they encounter a near-death experience. Given that testing this, by its very nature, would require someone to be in a life-threatening situation...needless to say it isn't as deeply researched or well-documented as one might want. It's simply a hypothesis that I found quite compelling and fascinating.

[@JohnSmith-cc3ud]

Depression is part hanging onto the past, as stress is more about the future, tho can come from thoughts of it too..and also part seeing the things in our man made world, and what we do to the earth and each other and everything in between and having empathy amplifies it at times..ignorance is bliss in that these things don't bother those who choose not to pay attention. I'm finding that without redirecting the energy focused in the very thing that drains it to one spot of which includes some sort of action, it remains a stagnant feeling easily dwelled in. It's a practice,and easier said than done, as an energy draining cycle is not easy to break and requires effort in itself. However it is worth it, at least more than it's worth putting that energy into something that just takes it and doesn't make one feel good. We are but a complex chemistry set without a handbook.

Roger Williams technology does create happiness! for example, animation software is tech. your animations make people laugh and enjoy it. that makes you happy. get it?

I don't know if technology in and of itself can make people happy. I think people can and do make other people happy. Technology, however, can be a conduit to deliver that happiness. That's the difference.

[@f45411]

Roger Williams but you see, he never used technology as a medium for things to obtain happiness such as artistic motion video or information to change the world, solely work, and for that reason, technology was represented as a chain of slavery rather then a technological wonder like how it is meant to be used for (not that doing work on technology is bad or inefficient, its the workaholic issue portrayed with the computer being the tool ) some people find great joy in raw technology, particularly computers and smartphones, for their universal applications, in both the fruit of labor (the time and effort it took to get to where we are now with technology) and the fruit of imagination (art, music, games, etc.) also, if not for any technology, life would just be raw labor for survival and no downtime for imagination (like in the time when everyone was nomads because technology wasn't thought of yet)

He had amazing childhood. He enjoyed his youth and adult life. But I didn't understand why he declined after 1988 with tremendous amount of sadness and depression on a single table. He also died with satisfaction. I think it's natural with everyone. It doesn't depend on that a man is an engineer, a scientist, a businessman or anything. It's crucial that how he ends up.
