So you're saying personal worth can be produced by mainlining alkaloids?
Stay awaaaaay from cocaine.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

A part of what makes a person superior is having no depression in their lives. If they are superior to suffering and life's struggles, then that means they don't even have to deal with them in the first place. Or that if they do, then they would completely overcome them. Otherwise, if they don't overcome them, then they will never be superior to their problems.

Therefore, for people who have depression in their lives that they can't overcome, if they wish to be superior, then they should choose to end their lives because ending your life would completely overcome the problem of depression. Otherwise, they would forever be bound to being inferior human beings by their own depression.

Therefore, if I was chronically depressed right now with no way of it going away, me choosing to end my life would give me the last laugh because I now know that I am superior to my own depression and suffering by choosing to overcome these things through death. I wish to dictate my own life and have no problems in life dictating how I feel (this would obviously include the problem of depression). So me choosing to die would give me this power and make me superior.

As I stated before, I realize that this is the one and only life. Therefore, since this is the one and only life, that is why I wish for it to be a perfect fantasy world (just in terms of my pleasure). Therefore, if it can't be that way, then I will gladly end my life. However, if I were to have problems in my life that don't hinder my pleasure, then that would be fine. But if I were to have depression which does take away my pleasure, that's when I would decide to end my life providing that the depression never goes away completely. But in the meantime if I did have the depression, I would wait for it to go away completely first. If it doesn't, that's when I would end my life.

Other than it sounds suicidal, I can't make heads or tails of this. But please stay away from mental patients. You could be dangerous to their health.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

So what do you make of people who don't have chronic depression and who get to enjoy their lives often but may pass through temporary stages of depression? Would they be still be superior even when depressed? Or does their worth decrease during that time?

What if someone is chronically depressed but gains a lot of pleasure as well from the activities they do?

It is highly complicated to gain pleasure when you are depressed, trust me. Even sexual relationships are a no no.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

What about drugs or alcohol? Or listening to music? Or playing video games?

Getting drunk gives you temporary pleasure but even so it may make you feel more depressed depending on the circumstances. I don't do drugs to answer your question, but I did smoke a lot of cigarettes, it certainly didn't help my wallet. When you are depressed not even video games will feel good.

Sounds like the life of a heroin addict is the most superior life currently available, as long as they get enough heroin.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
