No, he has special hair. Apparently it's legendary in the halls of residence of the Burton-on-Trent young lady's finishing school.

There is enlightenment -- The path to it is fraught and difficult ... the determined persevere and overcome the feeling of despair and fear and attain it. The rest... don't.

"Reality isn't what you think it is"
So true - You're just born into it taking pretty much EVERYTHING for granted - Then, you're shoved into a system as soon as you're able to start questioning these things, and most people don't fall off it until late middle-age.
I think the closest thing I can come up with to an answer is that it's best to concentrate on the job at hand, rather than concentrateing on morbid self-obsession and thinking too much about the big picture.
In the short-term, the best you can do is find your path and fullfill your true potential, so you can die happy and satisfied, but not apathetic.
If you're depressed at the moment it might be 'cos you've been doing the alcohol/valium thing lately! That'll put anyone in that state of mind... I find if you do nothing for long enough you usually end up quite detached from your momentary state of mind.
Shit man, just the other day I thought my whole world was crumbling around me - Came on in a matter of seconds, out of nowhere - Felt utterly alone and isolated - Lasted a few hours.. I assumed it was an acid flashback or something at the time, but I'm thinking it was actually a bloody seasonal allergy, looking back to the other symptoms - Your state of mind will constantly try to fool you and distort your reality.
The only truth is "Mu" - Or ummmmmmmmmmm..... It's beyond words and thoughts - Just focus on your breathing - Everyone's got a hidden Buddha in there somewhere that is content to just bathe in the warm light and let reality flow around them eternally.
Just your brain that gets in the way! Learn to recognise when it's messing with you.

The beer and valium has nothing to do with it, that was escapism.

Well I guess the most important thing is to remember that the feelings of pointlessness and apathy are just signs of a certain state of mind, and not your reality.
If I didn't have my music I'd be f**ked for sure - That gives me a simple purpose and something to channel my energy into.
I get anxiety, and without weed I would probably never leave the house - So I have to remind myself that my negativity and fear of the future are just concepts, and are not real.
If you can come out the other side of a depressive phase, rather than block it out or self-medicate too much, you can end up living life without the usual inhibitions and hang-ups most people have... It will make you a better person, and the state of mind will pass when you're ready, trust me.
I spent 3 years stoned and sedated through my bad patch - Started when I was about 17, then went away again and came back when I was 19.. Then, at some point you clean yourself up and find direction - And as you get older you become less self-absorbed and get back to that state of mind you had when you were a kid, where you sort of melt back into your surroundings.
Lots of people get suicidal after messing with tranquillizers though - Only short-term, but they do depress your nervous system for quite some time afterwards - Certainly can make a natural downer into something much worse.

Love in our life is just too valuable Oh, to feel for even a second without it

But life without death is just impossible Oh, to realize something is ending within us

there is no reason for anything really, if you think hard enough about anything then absolutely nothing is worth doing, so insted just pursue happiness, simply because you're going to be living here regardless of whether you like it or not, so you better make the most of it, and it requires EFFORT to make anything good
