Comment on Does life have less value to people in Latin America?

Most people have their sufferings. In the end, most people even die from some suffering or other. That is just a part of life, and you cannot substract it away from it.

I don’t know why depression should be so different from all other troubles. I don’t know why it should affect the value of life? How would you value a life with no arms and legs, for example? How would the person with no arms and legs value their own life? Have you ever asked one?

I think you skipped and interim there.

I don’t know why depression should be so different from all other diseases or troubles.

There must be a lot of things in life you don’t know. You can be dying of cancer and not be depressed and want to live on. And you can have a serious depression where you just want to die. If you can’t tell the difference between those two conditions, and why one is more detrimental to life quality than the other, I don’t see we can have anything to talk about. That level of ignorance is beyond debatable.

  You seem to think that…

  … deserves so many capital letters AND is the only thing that counts. Well, then maybe I should officially allow you to NOT read my texts anymore.
