generally speaking, there aren't a lot of topics that i don't have something to say about. it comes from hours of pouring over the internet clicking from one tangent to another seemingly interested in everything. it comes from reading random magazines, random recommended books. it comes from asking a plethora of questions about any topic, putting the pieces of life together into my own perspective hopefully without being too prematurely judgemental. it comes from not only being curious from a question standpoint but also taking curiosity for a ride around the world. finding out first hand and building depth beyond a learned erudite. when it doubt, try it. why not? who cares? just do it. it has a lot to do with lack of obligation. responsibility. bachelordom. and while i have a lot to say about stuff i think people have taken my perspective on things too literally. when i have an opinion, its an opinion. if it comes off as a hardened opinion due to first hand encounter, journeys, studies, it is probably because my personality comes off socially aggressive. but i derive my thoughts with the utmost respect for intangible variables. i change, people change, hypocrisy changes, the world changes. it's a thought that's ready to for new information to wax and wane me.

Mental Downturn: Identifying the Symptoms of Economic Uncertainty
excerpts...Almost as soon as the economic meltdown began, the ominous warnings
started. “Suicides: Watching for a Recession Spike,” read a February
2009 headline in Time magazine. Around the same time, USA Today reported,
“Signs abound that the battered economy is causing serious damage to
the mental health and family lives of a growing number of Americans …
Nearly half of Americans said they were more stressed than a year ago,
and about one-third rated their stress level as extreme in surveys [conducted by] the American Psychological Association.”
Once a symptom pool is agreed on, a new disorder is usually not far behind.
So what will we call our new, collective, global economic anxiety? The
current front-runner is “posttraumatic embitterment disorder.” PTED,
which has recently shown up in the psych literature, describes the
reaction to a negative but not life-threatening event, such as
workplace conflict, sudden unemployment, loss of social status, or
separation from one’s social group.
Given that we brought the world the recent economic crisis, the least
we can do is offer a symptom pool by which people can learn to express
their misery.
