-16 isn't so bad. Depends what subreddit it was posted in though."Depression is not a death sentence and it's ludicrous to compare it with cancer, regardless of how severe it is."
This got -16 karma on reddit.
Yeah but it used to be common sense not to compare depression with fucking cancer. The discussion was about how there's a double standard when if someone dies of cancer, the obituary invariably mentions their brave battle with cancer and that if someone dies from suicide, no one mentions they died after a brave battle with depression.-16 isn't so bad. Depends what subreddit it was posted in though.
You can't really compare it that way. When you have cancer, you don't want to die. When you're clinically depressed, you want to die. We can't really control our moods beyond a certain point - if you can't feel empathy anymore, what does it matter to you if others have a hard time? Likewise, if there's no pleasure in the world, you can't fulfill one of your basic needs.I wish all these depressed wankers would get to live the last month of a terminal cancer patient - not to die, just to live that last month up to the last second. I bet they'll beg God to give them depression instead.
