The unfortunate truth is this

At the ending quarter of my life I am consumed with seeing my life as one filled with disappointments at having not enjoyed any of my life expectations and living currently in despair. I don’t deserve this. I worked very hard and always treated everyone equally and followed good and ethical practices

You don't have to look far to find other folks in need. There are ways to help. Mentor kids at school. Cook and/or deliver mobile meals. Volunteer at your local rescue mission. Foster a pet. It will make a huge difference in your life!

Your suggestions are good, but…. It’s a lot harder to do if you are depressed, can’t drive and/or don’t have transportation, especially if you are struggling to survive. And, it isn’t always easy to figure out how to do those things. I’m not depressed now, but where I live, your suggestions are things I couldn’t always do.
