Yes, I think that's a good way of putting it, caveman.
I think that maybe people are still depressed, but the reason for it has changed. Whilst some people still suffer with PAD (I do in part), I think that a lot of it also has to do with wanting to now bring that world to ours, to live the way that they did and to find the truth in life, but there is a general feeling of hopelessness when it comes to such thoughts. Feelings that you'll be destined for lonliness, that the world we have is no longer salvagable, or even worth attempting to save, that we're just one person up against almost 7 billion others that there's insurmountable odds, and so on...
Even perhaps, fear. Not of the world itself, but of what actually living your life on it will mean.
I still long for Pandora... but slowly, i'm finding the love for her sister planet too. It just hurts that I can't spend time - maybe even the rest of my life - in that love.
