Wow I really don't believe that at all. Just because you have another point of view that doesn't mean you're right, or even able to make someone happy. Sometimes people see what you see and then still disagree for a legitimate reason. At the end of the day, only you are in charge of your mood! Unless you think you're so frail that others can make you feel a certain way. Influence, yes. Make; - NO.
I also don't believe in diagnosed depression. So many of my friends have been screwed up by doctors trying to sell them pretty pills. When really: they just needed to get their emo asses into gear! Self pitty is not a disease, it's a low form of indulgance. Doctors are stupid... Gawd...
I don't agree with people who say they have things so bad and "omgz I wants to die" when really they have things 10 times better than the majority of the earths entire population. Of humans!
But by the same token, you can't just "make" someone happy if they are determined to be miserable. Yeah, you can try to cheer them up, and it may well work. Great! But you cannot "make" or force someone to be happy. The very idea is just entirely ridiculous and flawed to a massive extent!
