We just started going over Robert Burton Anatomy of Meloncholy in class.. OMG this Tome is wicked. Anyway in this book he basically goes on and on contradicting himself however, keeps his focus on the prospect that every single thing on this planet, well at least humans; are afflicted with meloncholy.
In the book, which I have yet to read a lot of, apparently he gives causes and cures for meloncholy. The thing is though, that the facts he present aren't really consise and are anything but brief. His knowledge is obviously scholarly and leans towards the philosophical spectrum but at the same time he does apply knowledge from the psycological, economical and the medical disciplines.
-We are all at some point suffering from meloncholy this is an apparent fact and I doubt anyone would argue otherwise. However are we eternally damned to suffer meloncholy unconditionally without break or pause and is every single action we do actually meant as a way to circumvent the mirth ?
IS EVERY SINGLE ACTIONS EVERY HUMAN DOES ACTUALLY A WAY TO BUSY THEMSELVES TO AVOID DEPRESSION AND FACING THE DESPAIR AND GRIVANCES OF ARE OWN MINDS ?
Or is even thinking such a thing an unbenounced cry for help from a hermit in denial of his own contempt of knowlegde.
Keep in mind Burton anatomy of meloncholy spans many more avenues then I have presented however, I have neither the will or knowledge to say more- all I can say is yes we are all actually born depressed and all paths we take all non volutary actions we seek are only meant to belay that depression.
..If this post seem irelavant then.. lol it probably is... but I just read some of Burtons book and I was like Oh Shit this is deep stuff man and I have been playing it over in my head is it possible that when something comes to life- being in it first stages is it not unreasonably for that thing to be at the lowest level of cognitive functions.
Seriosuly think about, This view of his could explain why in fact babies are born as completly ignorant beings, with base needs and signs of communication- which are always expreienced in a the reprehensive from of crying. OMg and then as the babay grows older it is subjected to leanred men and womens beliefs, and serves only as a pwn without a real purpose IE like a depressed person. The babay follows along whatever path is given and in the end regardless of what it has been taught- in how to perceive hapiness the babay/human will decay and wither and bring further sadness to those as it dies.
OMG ROBERT BURTON HAS BECOME MY 7TH FAVORITE AUTHOR
