01.03.1998 - Interpretation of dali48 + update
Competition creates scarcity for many (see e.g. hunger etc. - d.48), and wealth for few (see decadence, waste, environment & social destruction etc. - d.48)! ...
The depressive has no friends or love, or the existing love relationship is unsatisfactory. - Physical symptoms of depression are:
Apathy, insomnia or constant need of sleep, appetite or loss of appetite, constant crying or thoughts of suicide ...
The therapy must show the depressive a way how to get the desired strokes, - express the desire for strokes, accept caresses and give them, reject unwanted strokes and also provide oneself with strokes ...
Just as hungry ones are ashamed of their poverty, we are often ashamed of our lack and our need for caresses! - The greater our desires, the more carefully we conceal our desires ...
If you get a lot of physical caresses who is often kissed and embraced, it is not difficult to ask for more (here, too, the rich becomes always richer = positive spiral)!
If you get very little physical caresses, you will be ashamed of your needs and hide them! - In a partner relationship, the man wants sexual caresses, while his wife wants to have verbal strokes! - She then gets sexual pains (which she does not want), and he gets verbal strokes which he does not want (i.e. for me: both are becoming increasingly frustrated, - and aggressive or depressed etc. - d.48)! ...
Anyone who is threatened to die from hunger - also accepts spoiled food! ...
Frequently, massage is the only means - to put the adult ego of the depressive into movement! ... (C. Steiner)

The idea that "competition creates scarcity for many, and wealth for few" highlights a potential negative consequence of a competitive market system. While competition can drive innovation and efficiency, it can also lead to a concentration of wealth and resources in the hands of a select few, while others experience scarcity and limited opportunities. This dynamic is often linked to market power, where dominant players can manipulate prices and limit access to goods and services, impacting consumers and workers negatively.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Competition and Scarcity:
Limited Resources:
In any economic system, resources are finite. Competition arises when individuals or entities strive to acquire or control these limited resources.
Winners and Losers:
Competition inherently creates winners and losers. While some businesses thrive and accumulate wealth, others may struggle or fail, leading to job losses and economic hardship for some individuals.
Artificial Scarcity:
Businesses may also intentionally create artificial scarcity by limiting production or restricting access to products or services to drive up prices and profits, further exacerbating the situation for consumers.
Wealth Concentration:
Market Power:
Competition can lead to the concentration of market power in the hands of a few large corporations.
Profits for the Few:
These powerful companies can use their market dominance to increase prices, reduce wages, and extract more profits, leading to a widening gap between the wealthy and the rest of the population.
Barriers to Entry:
Increased market concentration can also create barriers to entry for smaller businesses and entrepreneurs, further limiting opportunities for wealth creation outside of established players.
Examples and Perspectives:
The airline industry, with its high barriers to entry, exemplifies how concentrated power can create roadblocks to abundance and limit consumer choice.
Similarly, the pharmaceutical industry has been criticized for artificially creating scarcity through patent protection, leading to high drug prices and limited access to life-saving medications.
Research has shown that a lack of competition can negatively impact economic outcomes, including consumption, labor markets, and overall distribution of wealth.
Addressing the Issue:
Antitrust Enforcement:
Strong antitrust laws and their effective enforcement are crucial to prevent monopolies and promote competition.
Promoting Inclusive Growth:
Policies that promote equitable access to education, healthcare, and other essential resources can help level the playing field and create more opportunities for wealth creation across all segments of society.
Challenging Market Power:
Addressing the root causes of inequality requires challenging the concentration of market power and promoting a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources.
In essence, while competition can be a positive force for innovation and efficiency, it's crucial to recognize its potential to exacerbate inequality and scarcity if left unchecked. Policies that promote fair competition, ensure access to resources, and challenge concentrated market power are essential to create a more equitable and prosperous society for all.

Yes, the physical symptoms you listed (apathy, insomnia/oversleeping, and changes in appetite) are indeed associated with depression. Additionally, other physical symptoms can include fatigue, aches and pains, and changes in libido.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Apathy:
Apathy, or a lack of interest or enthusiasm, is a common symptom of depression.
Sleep Disturbances:
People with depression may experience insomnia (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep) or hypersomnia (sleeping too much).
Appetite Changes:
Depression can lead to either a loss of appetite or an increase in appetite, potentially causing weight loss or weight gain.
Fatigue:
Depression often causes persistent fatigue and a lack of energy.
Other Physical Symptoms:
Other physical symptoms can include unexplained aches and pains, headaches, digestive problems, and a decreased sex drive.
It's important to note that these are just some of the physical symptoms associated with depression, and the specific symptoms and their severity can vary from person to person.

The idea that massage can be a key intervention for the adult ego of a depressed individual is an interesting one, suggesting that physical touch can be a powerful tool in addressing mental health. While not necessarily the only means, massage can be a valuable component of a holistic approach to treating depression by positively impacting both the body and mind.
Here's why massage can be helpful:
Physiological Benefits:
Massage can reduce stress hormones like cortisol and increase levels of mood-boosting neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, contributing to feelings of calm and well-being.
Emotional Regulation:
By creating a safe and nurturing space, massage can help individuals reconnect with their bodies, reduce feelings of anxiety and depression, and improve self-image and confidence.
Touch as Therapy:
For some, the physical touch of massage can be particularly impactful, especially when experiencing emotional distress or difficulty with emotional expression. It can help regulate the nervous system and promote a sense of groundedness.
Complementary Approach:
Massage can be a valuable addition to traditional therapy, providing a somatic (body-based) approach to healing alongside talk therapy or other treatments.
It's important to note that massage is not a cure for depression, and individual responses to massage can vary. For those experiencing depression, a comprehensive treatment plan that may include therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes, with massage as a complementary tool, is often recommended.
In essence, while massage may not be a solitary solution, its ability to positively influence the body and mind, particularly in the context of emotional distress, makes it a valuable tool in the treatment of depression.
Claude M. Steiner (6 January 1935 – 9 January 2016) was a French-born American psychotherapist and writer. He wrote about transactional analysis (TA).
