You just never know where those “deep insights” will come from, do you? As a depressed person, living in the world I see around me, I’ve often wondered at what seems like an “inappropriate degree of happiness” in other people. Well I finally got my answer yesterday, in, of all places, the movie Ice Age: Continental Drift…
Wow, that explains so much! The movie even went on to answer another “age-old question” (sorry about the video)…
Man, two big mysteries solved in one day? I’m feeling “happier” by the minute! 🙄
I want ice water.

I Want Ice Water! 
The Key! It becomes more obvious every day.

Apparently, I’ve been subconsciously denying the obvious! 😯

Hmm … does this mean the smarter you are, the more unhappy you are???

Although I wouldn’t put it quite that way, the answer, but unfortunately, is yes. Statistically, the more intelligent and creative a person is, the more likely they are to suffer from depression. Even worse, those who do become depressed are far more likely to “self-medicate” and become addicts. Personally, I’ve often wondered if the self-medication thing arises as much from the desire to “dumb-down” as it does from the need to fight the psychic pain…

I haven’t a clue TT. Someone whose visits I cherish? 😳
BTW TT, fellow blogger astraltravler has asked me a question about fonts on my Hump Day Reflections post. I know you’ve done at least one post on the subject but I couldn’t find them. Would you mind chiming in? 😀

Self medication isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Perhaps you are a drug free depressive who is very sharp and on the ball with all of her artistic abilities (and more) intact. Stick to tea and get your sleep. Also, know this; wisdom is most often purchased with regret, but you can just accept another’s word for whatever, thus avoiding the regret.

I agree for the most part Phillip. Unfortunately, I don’t think avoiding regret is so easy. After all, there is some truth to that old “too smart for their own good” thing! 😀

Agreed. One must be careful and very selective.
