A lot of the social dysfunction of the US can be traced to the uncritical positivity of the culture. It’s practically illegal to be sad. Sadness is a problem to be solved with good ol’ Yankee ingenuity. Eliminated from the collective psyche like a smallpox of the soul.

Took me years to drop bullshit notions of it being bad mental hygiene or a sign of weakness to be sad. In fact it’s a sign of weakness to knee-jerk resist sadness.
