Depression

Do any of you know anything about depression, a mental illness?

In this poor monk's opinion, it's a great opportunity for someone suffering from depression to overcome their difficulties.

Thinking back, after my romantic setbacks and physical injuries, I had thoughts of giving up on myself.

It might have something to do with my personality. I'm the type of person who becomes more rebellious the lower I get.

Simply put, I refuse to accept it.

The mere fact that Laozi was born into this world is an incredibly awesome thing! When life first began to form, hundreds of millions of life forms were fighting for a single embryo.

If I could win that fight and be safely born into this world, aren't you impressed, man?

So, weren't you also born this awesome?

Since you're here, play a little longer. You have to leave eventually, so why not leave a little later? What's the rush?

If your heart hurts, treat your heart. If your butt hurts, treat your butt.

A person as awesome as you, can you really let yourself get into such a mess?

Don't think depression is some terribly serious thing. Look it up online, basically everyone has it, it's just a matter of severity.

It's something everyone deals with, so why get hung up on it? The more you dwell, the unhappier you'll be.

No matter how severe it is, even if you sometimes feel like just giving up, haven't you ever considered this? If you're not afraid of dying, are you afraid of living?

What are you being a coward for? You're not living for anyone else. Let others say whatever they want. If you don't like what they say, curse them out! Who cares who they are!

Don't waste your energy thinking about what this person or that person thinks. That's all just stuff we make up when we have nothing better to do.

Find something you like to do, and to hell with everyone else. Do whatever makes me happy. What's good or bad about this or that? I'll do as I please. I'm not living for you! To use Big Brother's words, you tell me I should do this, you tell me I should do that, are you kidding me? You think I'm an idiot or something?

Don't be afraid if you get depression. Big Brother tells you, as long as you can conquer yourself and come out of this predicament, you'll be a god!

Depression is the fastest way to achieve immortal cultivation, no joke. Don't believe me? Look at those who have overcome depression, haven't they all been reborn?

Things that were impossible to overcome before, things that were unbearable, become nothing once you get through it!

My philosophy for immortal cultivation is to be able to handle anything, no matter the circumstances. If a friend dies, they die. Remember the good things about them.

If a dog dies, it dies. I'll help it pass on. What can't be overcome? What's there to worry or fuss about? Why do we think so much? Isn't it because our hearts are too kind? Isn't it because being too kind makes us easily hurt?

Brother will teach you immortal cultivation. If you're afraid of interacting with people, we won't interact with them. Cultivate with Brother.

With Brother here, what are you afraid of? I'm someone who can even defeat my own thought patterns. I'll teach you to conquer yourself and control yourself.

If you say someone annoys you, or someone is affecting you, Brother will teach you how to use the patterns of human nature to defeat them.

You are all like gods in your own minds, like Brother. Why are you causing a ruckus in your own heads? Come out, and let's wander towards happiness together.

I'm still like a child, even in my thirties, I still ride kids' toy cars when I'm bored. Uh, I think I'm over thirty, I don't even keep track of it.

I always see myself as in my twenties. Play however makes you happy. Thinking too much is just torturing yourself, you idiot! Why think about that stuff?

Get better quickly! Don't feel like everything is meaningless. That's because you haven't met me. If you hang out with me, everything will be interesting.

Do you know how awesome I am? If I can't beat someone in a game, I'll secretly go poop at their place. Sometimes I even take explosives to blow them up, hahaha.

What else could I do? If I can't beat them, I'll just trick them.

Brother can also sing, and I'm very charming. Every time Brother picks up the microphone, I feel like I instantly transform into a deeply emotional little prince. I have to make at least one or two people cry, otherwise, it wouldn't show how awesome I am.

I'm the type of person who lives for today and worries about tomorrow when today's wine runs out. My motto is basically "to hell with it."

I completely understand that feeling of everything being meaningless, of feeling deeply lost and in pain, of feeling like nothing has purpose.

If you hang out with Brother, it'll be fun. If anyone bullies you, I'll take you to their rooftop at midnight to poop, damn it. I'll poop a lot in the first half of the night and a lot in the second half. Before we go, I have to eat a bowl of not-so-clean spicy hot pot. If I don't get diarrhea, then Big Brother is going easy on them!

Big Brother is here, what are you afraid of? If you're afraid of ghosts, I'll eat them. If you're afraid of deities, I'll capture them. Don't believe me? Go ask around. Which younger brothers or sisters who hang out with me don't I protect like my own child?

The legendary "protecting one's own" is exactly what I'm like.

Mortals, don't be afraid. Deities, no need to fear either. And those who practice Buddhist cultivation, Daoist cultivation, or Spirit Mediumship, all of them, no need to fear. Big Brother can spar with all of them.

Don't tell me about the dragons behind them, or whatever deities are behind them, damn it! Just go ask Brother Jesus if he's afraid of me.

If you try to show off with me, even Jesus can't save you, I'm telling you! One Five-Thunder Spell, and I'll make your ancestors' graves smoke.

In short, just stick with Big Brother. If it doesn't work out, then you can only blame yourself. Hahaha.

Don't feel like life is too stressful, oh, it's crushing me so much I can't breathe. Can you fart? If you can fart, it means we still have enough Qi. So, say fewer discouraging words.

Read this with Big Brother: "I am the most awesome, I was born awesome, I've been awesome since I was little! Just because ordinary people can't do something doesn't mean I can't, because I'm not ordinary! To hell with everyone else!"

Don't tell Big Brother you're feeling bad and then burn yourself with cigarettes or cut your arms. Big Brother did that sort of thing when he was young and reckless, what kind of skill is that?

When Big Brother takes you to poop on someone else's roof, then think about it. Who did you choose to bully? Bullying ourselves is like being a complete idiot, isn't it?

Just remember! There isn't a pile of poop that can't solve a problem. If there is, then just add more piles.

Who said that? Life isn't just the drama in front of you, it's also the poop we leave at other people's houses. Heh heh, just stink them out. Haha.

Family, friends, strangers, whoever wants to say whatever, let them. What they say can't stop us from pooping or farting, right?

If I want to listen, I'll listen. If I don't want to listen, it's just air.

We strive for self-improvement, our spirit is unmatched. Don't look down on ourselves just because we haven't achieved much yet.

There are only three people in this world worthy of your admiration: your father and your mother, because they created life for us.

The third is ourselves, because we were born with an awesome aura.

We're not even afraid of death, so why would we be afraid of living? Is there anything we can't do? Anything we can't accomplish?

The reason we haven't accomplished things yet is because we haven't seriously studied, seriously thought, or seriously done them! Once we get serious, performing a few miracles here and there will be no problem at all.

Whether you're a younger brother or a younger sister, do you know what you're lacking right now? You're lacking the courage to be as awesome as Big Brother! If you don't have it, if you feel like you can't, then open your mouth, and Big Brother will blow some into you (only for younger sisters, though). Don't mind if Big Brother's breath stinks! Big Brother is someone who brushes his teeth on time. If it really stinks, it might be because Big Brother ate stinky tofu, so don't mind. Haha. Cheer up! You're a perfectly good god, so why are you pretending to be a calf!
