Philosophical junk...  
Laughing makes you happy. It does. Even evil laughter makes one happy. There's just something about laughter that makes you happy. It's why we like court jesters and comics and whatnot, it's why we like people that amuse us. Yet, why is it that in all the stories and mass-media junk, the 'fool' isn't the one who gets the girl (though in Van Helsing, it was Carl, the comedic relief who was the only one who got laid!)? That should be different. Laughter is such an important part of a relationship.

I see someone in pain and I want to help them. It's hard when you see a friend who is going through a bad time and there's no way to help them out. Depression is a hard place to leave. I know... I've been there. I've been to the black dark places, and it took a heck of a lot out of me to get out... It took the most courageous step I've ever taken, risking rejection to find a group of people that have turned out to be the best thing that's happened to me. It took a change in mindset... It took forcing myself to let go of the pain.

And I want to help other people do the same, but you can't force someone to change their mind. It has to be a step that they want to take. And I know that in depression, you don't want to take that step. It's a hard one to take.

And yet, I see people who are and I just want to hug them or try to help them other ways. And I feel bad that there are people out there who know when someone's not feeling well and will proverbially spit on them further.

I guess there's nothing to be done and that frustrates me. *sigh*
