Yes, by a lot. If they were less angry and hateful, they would less likely be hypochondriacs.
What's struck me over the years is the number of primitives who get onto mood-altering drugs--never cheap, and usually paid for by either the taxpayers or other customers of an insurance company--because someone with whom they were very close died, and the primitives can't "handle" the sense of loss, the despondency, the loneliness, the melancholy, the depression that they feel.
Apparently the primitives think one's supposed to be happy, happy, happy all the time.
They don't understand that grieving--this sense of loss, this despondency, this loneliness, this melancholy, this depression--is
entirely and wholly and healthily normal.
And one
must go through it; there's no way out, if one wishes to be emotionally healthy.
Yeah, it's bad.....but it passes. One just has to give it time.
<<<has had, uh, significant experience with and copious observation of this issue.
To help it pass is one of the functions of one's priest, minister, rabbi, or imam.
But the primitives don't need God; they want drugs.
What happens is that these feelings of loss are not let out, just covered up temporarily. They stay inside of one, building up and solidifying, getting worse and worse, "necessitating" the "need" for stronger and stronger mood-altering pharmaceuticals.
It's like what happens when the rectal aperture's sewed shut, nothing able to pass from it.
Those feelings can stay inside
for decades, never dissipating, while in the meantime one's cerebral cells get fossilized and petrified, and "other people" have to pick up the tab for the drugs.
