YouTube Clip of the Week: “Tales of Mere Existence”
There’s a very deadpan but funny animated series on YouTube by Lev Milnaz called “Tales of Mere Existence”. The one I’m recommending is “How to Cope with Depression”. For those of you familiar with “Tales of Mere Existence”, you will already know that the title is ironic.
One thing that is oh, so true is that not only will your family most likely also be as depressed as you are, but that you discover that far more people are more insane than you are. You can hug that knowledge to your chest at night like a teddy bear.
However, the film is a brilliant portrayal of why people with clinical depression don’t like to talk about it or feel as if they are aliens from another planet. This can make you even more isolated and withdrawn, which intensifies your symptoms of depression. So, the moral of the story is, “People suck.”
Uhh, well, no, I guess that’s not the moral, but it does give you comfort in knowing that you are not the only alien on this planet with depression.
(Mild warning: this video has adult language in it.)
