Yes being a depressed person is not good.
But so is being ‘always positive’.
Neither cases are good.
The overly positive types are likely to seed chaos with a smile,
& not even know that they are doing so.
They’ve juiced their brains to say “everything’s great”.
They are embodied in the real-estate-agent-attracting-fake-uneducated-life-coach-guru.
These types are indeed WMD’s in their own right.
They’ll keep whooping & hollering together in a big room,
While they raise the rents on the supermarket worker, the nurse, the, mechanic –
The ones that lubricate a functioning society.
I’m no Marxist – I love entrepreneurship the kind that shows human human birdsong,
But the smoke & mirror economy is all because of imbalanced boom in untrammeled sh*t talkers.
We need positivity mixed with respect for knowledge and systemic harmony,
We need positivity that ‘lifts all boats’.
At least the depressives are too lacking in energy to destroy the world quickly,
For you have to be an go getter & an early riser to create a Great Depression.
Let us be a people with both our heads in the clouds and our feet on the ground,
Who are also not afraid of their own long trailing Jungian shadow.
For there’s nothing worse that to be enveloped in & saddled by,
The Unrecognised Jungian Shadow Of Being Too Depressingly Positive”
