i think some people that have severe depression have hormonal/chemical imbalances in their brain, and its not something that a better attitude can cure.

well i'm sure some people have very easy lives.

yeah its also cruel to strangers; but its more of a "shock" cruelness instead of a "heart-break" like it would do to friends/family.

yes i agree,
i had to put my dog to sleep a couple weeks ago since he was dieing from cancer.
it was a horrible day, but it was for the best.
why keep someone alive if their life is pure suffering?

Eccentricity is often associated with genius, giftedness, or creativity. The individual's eccentric behavior is perceived to be the outward expression of his or her unique intelligence or creative impulse. In this vein, the eccentric's habits are incomprehensible not because they are illogical or the result of madness, but because they stem from a mind so original that it cannot be conformed to societal norms.
