what WHO says

COMMENT

By 2015, mental illness will be the developed world's leading health issue.

By 2050, the developing world as well.

First, second or third world, ordinary people, workers, are being worked too hard, too fast, for too long, according to the World Health Organisation.

"Exhausted from the endless stupidity of my own mind, thrashing out ethical conundrums, emotional turmoil. Churn, churn, churn, I was in every way a 'churnalist' - rehashing bad propaganda from my own personal Ministry of Misery."

So familiar to me. But my churning was to do with the history you referred to. We strive to act in ways that better ourselves and the human race. We do it on an individual level. We shout about it. We speak coherently and with consideration about it.

And then realise, nothing at all has changed from generation to generation to generation. The human species is a stupid, blind one and it fills me with despair that I can do nothing at all to change it in the big scheme of things. That's when I lost it. Twice.

I don't know how to live in this world, because I feel so awakened while so many are blind and powerless because they can't believe in the power they hold inside themselves. So they self destruct, and destruct humanity in the process.

I know the truth that one person can make a difference, but unfortunately, it seems not to matter on a global scale. It always seems to have its limits.
