Indifference or The Strongest Force

"Indifferece [...] is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches meaningless. Love and hate don't stand a chance against it. It lets neglect and decay and monstrous injustice go unchecked. It doesn't act, it allows. And that's what gives it so much power."

-The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge

Fighting Depression

Always an indicator of a depressive bout, I was recently plagued by Pink Floyd lyris. Specifically:

Stop...
I wanna go home,
take off this uniform
and leave the show....
I'm waiting in this cell
because I have to know....
Have I been guilty
all this time? time? time?

To combat such grim thoughts this time around, I chose you use the ever annoying, but highly contagious "Song that never ends."

This is the song that never ends
it just goes on and on my friends
Some people started singing it
not knowing what it was
and they'll continue singin it
forever just because
This is the song that never ends
it just goes on and on.....

As you can see, an extreme move, but a necessary one. As Rebbe Nachman of Breslov taught:
"Depression does tremendous damage. Use every ploy you can think of to bring yourself to joy."
