Dunno ... I think their basic premise was that if you're dumbed down enough and don't ever think about anything then you'll be happy 'no matter what they do to you ...

And then all the dumb politicians look at the happy population and start taking the pills themselves as they're jealous of the population's happiness?
I asked a very similar question about a month ago and there was so many PC whiners came out of the woodwork that a brilliant thread ( the contributions of many others) was lost forever !
Some of the original whiners even changed their minds as the content developed ...
I wish you good luck ... just don't be surprised if it flies into the Bermuda Triangle !
Q3 Do you really think the King was gonna bring a diamond encrusted stool with him so he could step up and pop and a medal round Trumps neck when it was easier to just have trump bend a little?
The USA just cannot get to grips and understand Russia ... example
The CIA have trying to infiltrate deep into Russia but they cannot find someone who has Russian characteristics.
So, they adopted a kid at birth and taught him how to drink Vodka by the gallon play the balalaika and speak with a perfect accent, they feed him Russian food, and when he grows older their boy travels to Russia!
Day one ... he goes to a bar.
He speaks to the bartender in a wonderful and authentic accent.
The bartender says you have a wonderful accent but you're not Russian.
Outraged the CIA man says " Of course I am" and he gets out his balalaika and plays, sings, dances to beautiful traditional Russian folk music.
The bar tender says again " Da, you're a talented musician but still ... you're not Russian.
Not happy at all the CIA man starts ordering Vodka by the quart and chugs it back without toppling.
The barman, who is surprised but not convinced, tells him
'Look, it does not matter how well you speak, or sing, or dance and play our Russian music, no matter that you can drink a gallon of vodka ... you are still black, its just how it is is it not, eh, my American friend !.
Queen size, fairly firm mattress which I find extremely comfortable and it came from - the spare room at the old house together with a pair of side cabinets and a scotch chest that make up the suite.
Essentially that category of drugs do no more limit the 'range' within which a person is able to 'feel emotions'
They cannot 'feel' depressed but neither can they feel any of the positive joyful emotions either ... which ( in normal life ie without such drugs ) would be the means by which a person 'pulls themselves out or through a depression'
This is the reason why telling a person who's on ADs to pull themselves out of it is unhelpful.
They have no more ability to do so than you would if I told you to weigh anchor on an oil tanker that had no winch!
But, in general, talking about ADs to a person who is on ADs is usually as practical and fulfilling as trying to teach swimming to a drunk who jumped off a cruise ship expecting to fly...
BREAKING WITH TRADITION ... here's a REALLY GOOD joke :-=)
The Hot Air Balloon
A woman in a hot-air balloon realising that she she was lost, lowered her altitude when she spotted a lake with man fishing from a boat below.
She called out down to him,
“Excuse me, can you help me? I promised friends I would meet them an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied,
“You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above the lake at an elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said
“You must be a Republican.”
“Matter of fact I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” answered the woman balloonist, “everything you told me IS technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve been no help at all.”
The man looked up, smiled and responded, “I see ... so, then you must be an Obama Democrat.”
“I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did YOU know?”
The man in the boat paused a moment...
“Well, it was easy enough, let me tell you! First of all - you don’t actually know where you are or where you are going. Second, you’ve risen to to your present position due entirely to having generated a large quantity of hot air, and were carried here on a "random wind of change". Third, you've made a promise to your friends that you never had any idea how to keep Now you expect ME to solve YOUR problem. But, the ABsolute Clincher ... you’re in exactly the same position as you were in before we met, but somehow ... now you're making it all my fault.”
Sorry, down to the last 3 teddy bears so first come first served, long time outta hot chocolate and there's not a drytissue left on the continent !
And considerably reduce their life span ... due to all manner of complications that are related to their use but can be explained away by 'Well, it's not uncommon for people of your age to ...
You'd have to define HEALTH in the context of 'mental' Pedro
Unfortunately the whole Shrink/Drug Industry cannot ( or perhaps rather will not ) ever provide such a definition ... which means they give themselves the right to persuade anyone who will listen to them that their drugs are essential!
Depression is allegedly linked to low SEROTONIN levels
They ( Shrink/Drug Industry) make that claim ... but never ever test anyone for serotonin levels before writing prescriptions.
And, as the body produces serotonin (and many other things ) moment by moment ... such a test would be as meaningful as taking a picture of a Times Square at the peak of summer and telling people that that's how TS looked every day and in every seasons.
Why did the chicken REALLY cross the road ...
To get away from the sales patter of the Eli Lilley, Glaxo and other drug salesmen from Big Pharma !
Tragic ... I suppose that any terrorist group seeking to create most impact and harm to the society it want's to destroy would always select exactly it's exactly that sort of soft target.
Sincere sympathies to all who have lost family and friends - mostly it's going to be Mums and Dads who've lost their children and young people who'll have lost their nearest and dearest friends ... prayers for them all.
If that were the case then you have no volition, free will and you'd be little more than a zombie always waiting fearfully for 'what bad thing fate might have in store for you' eh?
Oh, hold up a minute ... that's probably most western people who believe in 'fate' innit?
In reality, the spirit being understands the 'lessons' that are to be learned in each life cycle and 'self selects' parents and circumstances under which those lessons may be learned. However, having taken on earthly bodies we are not able to access that data and so we have to learn the lessons as we learn what lessons we came to learn.
As an example, some of us are here to 'learn about handling money' and are either born into poverty. or 'have money' and lose it? Maybe we'd like to imagine 'learn about money' means being a Warren Buffet or George Soros or other multi billionaire ... perhaps we have to learn to deal well with pennies before pounds and tens before thousands and millions, let alone billions ?
Similarly with love (and everything else)
Love particularly can be a bitter sweet experience isn't it ... sometimes we have to learn to live, to continue, to persevere without for a time, maybe even most or all of a lifetime in order to 'learn fully' so that we can experience the other side.
A poor comparison maybe, but look at how many middle aged guys buy super-bikes and hi-performance sports cars. They often don't 'properly' learn how to handle 'lower level' machines and often they come to inflict horrendous harm or even mortal grief upon themselves and their families eh?
Learning to be happy 'as is' is probably the best way to move through trouble ... whatever you have in life 'right now' was created ONLY by yourself anyway!
