“Are you happier?” I ask him. “Were you ever clinically depressed?”
He nods. “I think I was quite clinically depressed. I feel so much happier now.”
“Is it a natural change? Something that comes with age?”
“With age,” he says, “you can put things in perspective and realize how absurd people are. When you’re younger, you feel that if a person is a lawyer or an accountant or a high court judge, they must actually know something.”
