I may have the body of a weak and feeble man but I have the Heart and Stomach of a Queen.

Not just speaking for myself but its not just you that comes here to put you thoughts down and reflect. This was nice Lenny. Just know that while you are not alone, doesn't mean you aren't special. Rejoice that you can feel at all. Not trying to speak in riddles but I think you can feel life better than some people. The saddness you feel is poetry in the making. Just try and find an outlet to pour your heart and soul out on. Remember. We are the dreamers of dreams.

Well we are in a "depression"(recession) so I am sure that has a part to play.
In regards to feeling worthless a quote from Carl Sagan really sums up the human condition...
"Our time is burdened under the cumulative weight of successive debunkings of our conceits: We’re Johnny-come-latelies. We live in the cosmic boondocks. We emerged from microbes and muck. Apes are our cousins. Our thoughts and feelings are not fully under our own control. There may be much smarter and very different beings elsewhere. And on top of all this, we’re making a mess of our planet and becoming a danger to ourselves.
The trapdoor beneath our feet swings open. We find ourselves in bottomless free fall. We are lost in a great darkness, and there’s no one to send out a search party. Given so harsh a reality, of course we’re tempted to shut our eyes and pretend that we’re safe and snug at home, that the fall is only a bad dream."
But there is always this....
"Once we overcome our fear of being tiny, we find ourselves on the threshold of a vast and awesome Universe that utterly dwarfs—in time, in space, and in potential—the tidy anthropocentric proscenium of our ancestors. We gaze across billions of light-years of space to view the Universe shortly after the Big Bang, and plumb the fine structure of matter. We peer down into the core of our planet, and the blazing interior of our star. We read the genetic language in which is written the diverse skills and propensities of every being on Earth. We uncover hidden chapters in the record of our own origins, and with some anguish better understand our nature and prospects. We invent and refine agriculture, without which almost all of us would starve to death. We create medicines and vaccines that save the lives of billions. We communicate at the speed of light, and whip around the Earth in an hour and a half. We have sent dozens of ships to more than seventy worlds, and four spacecraft to the stars."
