I tend to be pessimistic and see depression as the necessary, logical response to world. How to change it?

I see sadness, seriousness and depression as cool i guess like it is the only coherent answer towards this cruel, mortal, careless life. I desire to change that. I want my default response and emotional state be optimistic. How can i replace and fix this depressed character with a cheerfull, pleasent one?

By the way, if your suggestion is to get professional help, do not even bother yourself with writing down.

I was just dwelling on this. The problem is your world view and frame of mind.

The answer here, is to accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and get a new perspective through Him and for your life purpose. That is how I solved this debacle.

You are 100% right this world is jacked, some don't see it, but others that actually have a heart see it. It's cruel. It might ruin a person at a young age and then when they struggle, it beats them down more. This is a ruthless animal world, not Godly, not heaven. That's why Jesus said, "this is not my kingdom". In other words, He could not fix it! His Kingdom was love, which is God in Christian viewpoint.

That's a taste of the answer. You dwell on it from the right viewpoint, then gets better. I used to dislike or despise people, now I have compassion for them. Doesn't mean I accept their bad behavior, that's different.

Just accepting somebody or something and looking forward to some vague reward in a distant afterlife isn't going to erase or negate the very real cruelty, injustice, and unfairness people are facing in the here and now. I'm not an atheist, but I am not a very devout doctrinal believer either.

@JessieRabbit It will for you. You control you, not everyone else. This world has been spinning out of control for a long time.
What you believe heavily influences behavior.

You have to take control of your life. You are the only one that can make you happy. Don't look for your job, or girlfriend or the government (ha ha) to make you happy.

So you ask a question, but don't want the solution? Why did you bother writing it down?
