    How about just make life worth living for more people?

    Instead of trying to help people after they’ve gone down … why not prevent them from falling in the first place.

      Fun fact;

      In war zones rates of depression and anxiety drop down to statistically zero.

      There’s no time for ennui, to much shit is going on that you can admit you have no control over and every decision you make could potentially mean life and death for anyone around you.

      People find their purpose. It’s just that it’s usually “survive”, and might develop into “revenge”.
