I love Ricky Gervais’s dark, sometimes sick, sense of humor, they hit so close to home. But the ending and the lack of examination of any kind on structural obstacles toward mental well being is disappointing, to say the least. This is after all just a temporary crisis, specifically, a cishet middle class white male’s temporary crisis.
You are in pain.But the thing you lost is the same thing that can stop that pain. Happiness is amazing.It’s so amazing ,it doesn’t matter if it’s yours or not. A society grows great when old men plant trees the shade which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people.Tha’s it.The end.
