In response to one of Bryan's posts...

He posted the questions, "Do you think it's better to be a realists or an idealist?" and "Do you find it interesting that the occurence of mood disorders is alot higher in economically developed countries than other countries?

In my opinion, I think it's better to be an idealists especially in this society today because everything doesn't have to scientifically proven to make a point or pass judgement on things. It's also better because it allows you to be more open to new things and ideas rather than just accepting something for the way it is. If the world wasn't idealistic at all then I believe that everything would be very closed minded and boring because people wouldn't believe or look in to new ideas about things in life.

I find it not just interesting but not too surprising that other countries have a low occurrence of mood disorders than developed economies such as our country. The fact of the matter is that the more developed economical countries; people have less economic and war problems so therefore they will have alot more time and things to do and have than other countries. Since people have more values and goals they keep on stiving for that which mostly leads to unhappiness. In situations like these people don't usually appreciate what they go through to achieve their goals in life beccause theres many and also don't normally appreciate what they have because there always getting more by having alot of money. So therefore, unhappiness and lack of appreciation can lead to mood disorders.

In countries with not too good developed economy have low occurrence of mood disorders is because since they have less, they appreciate what they have and are able to be happy with it.

If money is able to get you good and valuable things, why can't people be happy with that?
