Anti-depression Blog

So since today's class (1/31/2010) was so depressing with all the talk about how our world is sucking and getting worse and the talk of death and what not, I figured I would post a video that never fails to make me laugh. I know the song is cliche but the guys in it are soooo funny. So here it is:

Now that you've watched the random video, I'm gonna state my reasonings for why I think the world is actually getting better rather than getting worse for the fun of it. I think we can all agree that there are a lot of things that aren't necessarily desirable about our world but, as humans, it's natural for us to overlook the good things and accentuate negative things. Yes there are people starving in 3rd world countries, but we're making more efforts and more advances towards helping those people all the time.

One thing that is really near and dear to me that I personally think is a fantastic thing that we've never had before is all of out medical advances. My younger cousin has been in the Cincinnati Children's Hospital for almost 3 years now. She is one of 12 people in the world that has Combined Immune Deficiency Syndrome and without all of the medical advances we have now, she wouldn't still be alive today. We may not have a cure for cancer yet but there are a million other advances we've made that are so incredible. So I think that's a pretty awesome reason to prove that times aren't quite as bad as people think.
