Seasonal Depression

Is it the cold harsh weather and lack of sunlight ?  Is it the holiday joy , blaring from the radio or documented in the news ,  that one assumes everyone feels except yourself .  
Is it the thought that following xmas is the new year , etching into history the past years` unfulfilling monotony.  Is it knowing that this years goals , will once again fail to be reached.  
  The years have sloughed off my blissful naievety... I no longer dream.  I no longer hope.
I am suffering from seasonal depression ; the season is the millenium.

"Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seed of rapacious licence and oppression over again, and it will surely yield the same fruit [...].""

I am bored

There is a quote on boredom attributed to Soren Kierkegaard in “Either/Or”:



The gods were bored, and so they created man. Adam was bored because he was alone, and so Eve was created. Thus boredom entered the world, and increased in proportion to the increase of population. Adam was bored alone; then Adam and Eve were bored together; then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse. To divert themselves they conceived the idea of constructing a tower high enough to reach the heavens. This idea is itself as boring as the tower was high, and constitutes a terrible proof of how boredom gained the upper hand.
