15. You're quite free to do what you want, Bro....but the "chemically induced happiness"
bit regarding medication is very dodgy.

If you want to be "chemically free" you'd better re-design the human brain. We are MADE of "chemicals", inluding the serotonin which makes us feel good. People who lack certain chemicals in their brain or the mechanism to use them adequately feel "depressed"...and no, few of us lack a "reason" to be depressed or a "reality" to justify it, but some of us have the brain chemistry (I know, it's SO unromatic, isn't it?) to cope....Other's do not.
