No, I pretty much think its the former. As there was a thread around here somewhere about this - there is no point in actively seeking depressive events. Something happens, you accept it, you learn from it, you move on. It is rather ridiculous to dwell in the suffering of others. Especially the ones you have never heard of. (Yes, I know that no human being is better than the other, but using the world view of an average person you care more about those close to you.)
Oh, and we just might be getting a little offtopic here.
