Setting a pace
Question:
Hi, My thought is set the beat of a different drummer. Just say "fuck you" to society because everyone in here is somehow an outcast to society, we have learned to do our own thing and so can you. Feeling a little fiesty, Lauren
yeah….let em have it! *clapclapclap* and can i add a piece of my own? well i think that everyone here is also much stronger because we are still here, still plodding on through the sh*t… and a lot of us are even able to pull ourselves through life absolutely alone. now that is what i call "strengh of character". *** fiona. ____/| o.O| =(_)= U — For more information about this service, send e-mail to:

One problem with being depressed is the damand placed on the effected to march to the beat of societies drummer and not your own. Many times I wish I could get into my confort zone of living, which involves doing things a a slower pace, but It seems to be discouraged by everyone. iS IT BECAUSE IT’S unhealthy? Does slowing down and taking it easy mean that you are giving into depression; not a good thing to do, or is it because we as a society have certain expectation levels to function at, and anything less would be unacceptable?

Don’t want to be short, but it depends on if you were maybe going too fast in the first place. I got out of the fast lane, I downsized (got rid of a lot of material things, including my car) and am simplifying as much as possible (they used to call it Voluntary Simplicity). I went through a period where I found that I was spinning my wheels – but had no goals or objectives. Good Luck. Andre —

That’s not only an affliction of the depressed – it happens to everyone. Many times I wish I could get into my confort zone of living, which involves doing things a a slower pace, but It seems to be discouraged by everyone. iS IT BECAUSE IT’S unhealthy?
How many slow, relaxed people do you know that have ulcers? Does slowing down and taking it easy mean that you are giving into depression;
No mon… It means you are running your life, not someone else… not a good thing to do, or is it because we as a society have certain expectation levels to function at, and anything less would be unacceptable?
That’s a great philosophical debate. It seems to me the more "labour saving" devices we have, the more we have to labour (More is expected of us, and we have to get the money to buy the next "neat toy" that comes along.) There is no real concrete answer… I favour time measured in seasons rather than nanoseconds myself, but I also have to make my way in society as well… Good luck! – Bruce. — For more information about this service, send e-mail to:
