It’s really depressing how important it is to every person to be seen, no matter how obscure and unimportant, and how deeply they start to collapse when they’re not being seen. And older = worse. Most people don’t develop the inner resources to endure not being seen for long.

Is your position that the biological imperative for people to feel connected to a community who “sees” them is deppressing because modern civilization fails in this regard, ir that the individuals fail to evolve?

So the communal reality of the human experience is depressing? And not a call to action?

Came to this thread to muse about this- I do not lament the work inherent in trying to feed every hungry person who does not offer some recompense to that labor

I suppose I either provide with my limited resources or I do not- meta emotions on the broader condition serve neither the hungry nor myself.. unsure if I sublimate my frustration to a prime mover

I don’t lament or grudge what I do to help others (very little) but I don’t derive any particular sense of reward or fulfillment from it either. I must lack that part in my brain.
