47. I'm depressed because
I'm stuck in a world of predatory assholes, intent on controlling,taking advantage,para-siting and destroying my spirit.
Which they do not have and will never understand.

A world without sociopaths would be a livable world..for me.
That is why I say I am NOT from this predatory type of world,

and I suspect the pain of social defeat another poster linked to,that causes depression along with some flawed genetics maybe reinforced over generations of defeat brought forth by the new generation being hurt in a predatory sociopath favored reality like ours is the cause of our suffering.We are not predatory (I don't like torture)yet we are in a predatory world controlled by predatory people who do like torture.

Call me crazy but the problem is WE are the aliens forced or hoodwinked to be in a sociopathic predatory world that is not suited to our natural empathic spirit.
