Anger and depression are not diseases or dysfunctions or anomalies; they are perfectly rational responses to the myriad avoidable disappointments that begin in a thoroughly irrational hope.
Shalom AuslanderKugel was a firm believer that death was not always a bad thing - that life often reached such levels of crapitude that dying was preferable to living.
Shalom Auslander...the greatest source of misery in the world, the greatest cause of anguish and hatred and sadness and death, was neither disease nor race nor religion. It was hope.
