In response to "FWIW, I have been diagnosed with clinical depression before. -- (edited)" by David

I try to save my disdain for the evangelists and the ringleaders -- (edited)

Then ones telling us we're pussies for not joining in and going "enjoy staying poor". There's a reason we've come up with all the safety rules and a bunch of them thought they were too good for it.

I do get the impulse - I notice that I buy fewer lottery tickets when things are going well - but I do agree that a lot of these people are trying to chase away some hopelessness and or depression. But the people that are in two trouble are those that pulled off the safety guards and threw everything into a pig in a poke.
