Yeah, man.
People should obsess about every single negative aspect of their lives, every single moment of their lives, because that's healthy.
This is not what depression is, anyway. If it's in your hands to "not be obsessed about every single negative aspect in your life", by all means don't be.
Have the clinically depressed even tried smiling more?
If we're talking clinical depression, then it's innate and even a perfect society will need to treat them.
If we're talking depressed the mood because you were obsessing over something depressing, then stop doing that.
In both cases it's the root cause that needs to be addressed, not the frowny face symptom. We need to pursue a perfect society in a healthy way.
