Depression and flying

I've OFTEN wondered when the depression line has been crossed, and how
does the average person recognize it?

I call it deep thinking - clinically they probably refer to it as
ruminating. :-)

Deep thinking leads to depression. That's why writers and artists are
"tortured" -- they can only produce their most excellent work while
suffering.

As someone who spent five years doing little else beside reading, writing
(and thinking about writing) in college, (well, there *was* tequila in
there, somewhere.... :-) I can attest to the fact that ruminating about life
TOO much is counterproductive in the extreme.

The Germans have a great saying: "Work makes life sweet." They're not
referring to the monetary advantages, nor the intellectual exercise.
They're referring to the fact that keeping busy is good for your state of
mind.

Ha! I haven't heard that since I was a kid, when my Grandma Schmidt would
mutter it once in a while...

Is that spelled right? I seem to remember it differently -- but the words
*sound* the same.

Ja sicher. It is spelled correctly. Except, I don't know how to put the
umlaub over the "u" is Suss.
