For my own part, I have just started an online not-for-profit anon. art project called Draw that Beast. The idea was born of Winston Churchill’s description of depression as his “little black dog”

I am asking people to submit original artwork (drawings, paintings, montages, photos) of how depression visually looks to them. I’m interested in going beyond the descriptive words and try to capture the intangible with imagery. Like glimpses into the human spirit.

Anyone is welcome to join in or check it out at:

And there is a thing called social politics that attempt to make people that haven’t gained a true sense of social independence through the years, knowing how to pull away from parents (and wanting to) feel more and more useless and more and more helpless.

You have to read between the lines of what these entertainers tell you. Oprah Winfrey recently said “50 is the new 30″. Today’s 37 is like yesterday’s 21.

37 is your legal age meaning that in a legal paperwork situation you have no choice but to accept it, but in a social sense, you can be young at any age if you can change your perspectives on life.

The trouble with the post WW2 world especially in free societies, is children (for well over 30 years) being brought into the world believing in the idea of the free ride and too much dependency on a parent or caretaker and not enough dependency on understanding their rights and developing some greater social responsibilities.

They lie to kids especially in these early years when small children often cling to their caretakers and are terrified of teenagers, college students and post college students, and many believe that it would be light years into the future if at all before they reach and pass that age.

And with all of the gaudy products businesses sell to parents to give to their dependent children to show that they unconditionally love them, gives them false ideas that this is the world they are always going to face. The school system forces kids through for marks and when they get out and life is once again more abandoned and serene, obsessional thinking of the world of yesterday (the good and bad) and fearful thinking of the present pulling deeper into the world of the future causes many former helpless dependent children (who never even mastered adolescence) to develop into a state of depression, social withdrawal, more co-dependency and co-morbid psychological conditions. Pulling through fear socal anxiety and depression with a true sense of of a basic world of accomplishing and doing.

Feeling comfortable doing this independently and with others for long hard days for a sense of personal worth and growth can be very difficult. Society in general does not want children (and even teenagers) to believe they are goiung to have to grow up, and that as they get older younger generations will follow them into the future.

For retail sales (big buisness) and recreation programs (small business) administrators attempt to capitalize on internal family bonds in the first eight years of life, and the fears associated with slowly breaking these bonds in constructive productive ways for their own profits. In life you only get older and older and older and you have to accept this truth in order to survive, and truly understand that you developed from a totally helpless dependent individual into a productive member of society. The first thoughts that hit many people’s minds especially small children are learned helplessness and allowing these weak dreadful submissive emotions to get the better of them when their caretakers are not in their present environment.

If constructive, productive emotional and physical levels of functioning can not intinctively overtake these emotionally weak feelings of abandonment and stress, a fight or flight syndrome appears threatening your physical health ultimately causing you to socially withdraw from the here and now and take the easy way out.

My opinion is that hospitals at birth are most responsible for developing a plan for parents within the scope of the family genes for their newborn children, since they hold over 100 years of birth certificates of living individuals.

The hospitals are most responsible for investing their money on interrelational workshops for young families in similar situations, to help parents understand that babies and small children have to face reality every day and eventually grow up and take some personal responsibility for their actions.

There is always going to be a next day, deeper into the future. Families get older. Familes perceive the world differently, and there is always going to be all sorts of people you have to deal with. Hospitals are most responsible for coaching children and young people into this understanding, since they hold the birth certificates of them and their parents and their grandparents. Personal responsibility is important, preventative medicine is important, social engineering for profit is not.
