Dear Folks,
 
OK  --another modest maybe..
 
Maybe prozac or any other psychotropic medication can never by itself be a cure for man's problems in living because ultimately such problems are problems of meaning and significance and no amount of chemically altered feelings or sensation can by themselves achieve meaning.  The plane of meaning can never be achieved by brute force alone.  As the Greeks taught it is not what happens to us but the view we take of it
 
Whadaya think  --any other suggestions?
 
Best,
Jim Piat
