View submission: Do you ever feel depressed?

I think there have always been people like us throughout history. Superficial fads come and go, various harmful dogmas come and go, every society has this dynamic. There are always a few people who would rather live simply and sincerely away from all the chaos. So it helps me a lot to read books and poems written by those people - they feel like my friends across time and distance. I really like Mary Oliver and The Abundance of Less by Andy Couturier[1] (about simple-living people in rural Japan).

It also helps me to spend time in nature, where I always feel a sense of belonging.
