Seriously my man Immanuel was depressed as fuck
You see, it's normal for men with enormous rational faculties such as myself to find no joy in anything and be constantly overthinking and fall short of being satisfied with anything even once, regardless of how hard we try, while we look at the dumb-dumbs have a blast, full of envy for their smooth brains. It's good even.
— Kant, explaining that we were not meant for happiness but not in like, a depressed way. Just the regular repressed Protestant way. The morally correct way.
actually helping people doesn't count as a morally good action if you enjoy it. That's why I feel like shit all the time. Because I'm such a good person.
—Immanuel "Normal Amount of Repressed and Not At All Depressed" Kant
