"People talk about depression all the time. The difference between depression and sadness is that sadness is just from happenstance—whatever happened or didn’t happen for you, or grief, or disappointment. depression is your body saying, ‘I don’t want to be this character anymore. I don’t want to hold up this avatar that you’ve created in the world. It’s too much for me.’ You should think of the word ‘depressed’ as ‘deep rest.’ Your body needs to be depressed. It needs deep rest from the character that you’ve been trying to play. You need to understand that the person you think you are, and the world you think you live in, are both just constructs. when you let go of that, real freedom comes. It's not sadness anymore—it's a kind of peace."

Capitalism has convinced people that new always equals “better” so if you want to rebel against Capitalism start to recognize that “new” is often just a way to extract more money from you.

Existing (or “old”) things can be functional and beautiful, and often easier to repair.

The word “old” should not be an insult. Not to things or to people.
