Memes, memes everywhere..

Existential depression, my ass! Gifted adults, and even children, would surely read things like Stepenwolf, On The Road, Cuckoos Nest, Nausea, Age Of Reason and the likes and cure themselves.

Depression is nothing but a set of acquired habits. Change in behavior, caused by traveling and excessive reading, will produce a different perspective upon so called reality and an altered set of habits which will change ones personality. For better or worse.

This kind of CBT goes back to the seers and sages of the East and the first great philosophers of the West somewhere about 600 B.C. It still works.
