Being a Loser is the Best Cure for Depression
16th January 2022
Do you know why you believed the title? Because you are a fucking loser!
However, being a weirdo is the best cure for depression.
The 3 phrases of life are:
- being a compliant bitch that agrees with everything that society tells you.
- being a less compliant lion trying to break free but is too deep in the mud to get out (eg. being a cooperate slave/a worker that can’t escape the paycheck-to-paycheck hamster wheel).
- being a child. Not childISH, but a child. Flat. The freely-wondering spirit. Able to scream in the middle of the street, able to say what he believes is right, able to not be plagued by societal standards and political correctness. Just to name a few.
Courtesy of Three Metaphorsis by Nietzsche.
You will most definitely be a weirdo. Great Men (and Women, just for the sake of polit-) would be impervious to the white-eyes of the masses, the taunting of the peers, and the criticism of the world.
They will do whatever. Be a loser, be a weirdo.
The prerequisite, however, is that you have a bit of money and power, and a bit of resilience to the legal pressure of the country you’re in.
