Ways To Cope With The Depression Of The Dream Of Pandora Being Intangible.

Soooo, personally I feel much better the last few days, weirdly. I am far more busy, I am doing an internship I don't really like 100% (but it's alright I guess?) and I have little free time. But, you know, it makes me appreciate that time more.

I figured out that being busy ends up helping to avoid non-severe depression, I don't really know why, but it happens to me, personally. And I totally agree with you that having less free time makes us appreciate that time more. About the internship, I guess it's ok too, one cannot fully like every aspect of everything, just focus on the good parts, specially in the fact that this internship will help you get something better in the future! .

After all the movie helped me form a dream, a vision, of how the world could be. I cannot achieve this dream, sadly, but I am trying to find a personal solution or dream abstracted from that.
Maybe that might help you, too. Find what bothers you so much about society/humans after watching the movie and either try to find a solution for it/separate from it or else make peace with it. You should not be angry about things you cannot change all the time. I'm not saying you shouldn't point them out, but at some point you gotta live with it or change it.

Also, don't forget that Avatar is "just" a movie, after all. Don't confuse it with reality, not all humans are bad...

Again, I must agree with you. Here in this forum I learned about oil tar sands in Canada and top mountain coal mining in the USA. Oh, my friend, I was really, really sad and angry, but after a couple of hours thinking and thinking about it, I was forced to let it go, somethings we really cannot change, but at least I will be able to spread this information, this knowledge and perheaps make some difference.

To be honest and to share a really deep feeling I have, I truly wish I could be on Pandora, my life is not bad, but Pandora looks more like home to me than my actual home here on Earth. This feelings does not even envolve human/society problems, it just is...

As you said, we cannot change everything and need to make peace with it or try to do something. Avatar brings me inspiration to do small things that I know can contribute to a better future here on Earth. It will sound stupid, but today, for example, I did not eat meat in the lunch because since I watched Avatar 2 I began avoiding this kind of food after a long time.

I totally get that feeling, I have that myself and its weird. It is like the stories meant for escaping become so fixed in my mind, I want to be there ALL the time, I want to LIVE there. A2 wasn't the only story.
Maybe it's a simple explanation. The people here are just super sensitive when it comes to getting emerged into *good* stories. People just get emerged into stories differently, so we might just be a special kind there.

We face the same "problem", friend, and to me is not just with recent movies and stories, it happens to things I saw years ago until this day, although Avatar is different, it's stronger and deeper.

You have a really good point here, we in this forum are really sensitive people, we can see this by reading what people say, not just only on this thread, but all the discussions, the people's desire to do good and to be good.
Maybe this makes us more open to identify ourselves to the Avatar world and the Na'vi themselves, we see that planet as a home because it is full of good, peace and harmony, we desire that.
