No, to be honest I really don't see any point in such chest-beating at all. I think this is a rare Pollyenna moment for you to presume you know everyone in your life so well, when depression still carries enough of a social stigma that people don't freely discuss their personal status on that.
What? Chest beating?
Pool said he's never met an American who don't take these meds. I was assuring him that there are plenty of us who don't. And yes, I do know that all these people I listed have never taken them.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
