depression is fantastic
that's what i used to think
mental illness is all in your head therefore it is fantasy and to overcome it all that is needed is a change of thought
simple right?
society builds bridges and hospitals
society protects us from criminals and supports us when we are out of work
it sets rules and boundaries designed to improve the way of life for the majority and this is absolutely fine
a by-product of this process is that there will always be people places and things which exist outside of what society considers to be acceptable and this is also fine
it's the grey area that causes the problems
it is possible to be a perfectly functional member of society but to have tastes and opinions which stray outside the comfortable areas
this is social stigmatism
society can reject that which it perceives to be unacceptable and it can even forgive like a benevolant creator when one its flock breaks the rules
but those who seek to break the rules or bend them enough to live through society without being part of it will always be the spark in the powder keg
calm like a bomb indeed
