A feeling of abject sadness is one of the symptoms of depression. But the real question is why are so many people sad? (depression is a grave problem, right?)

Perhaps we are living in a fake environment, with fake food, fake news, and fake people, and all of these are slowly poisoning our souls to their depth.
