Is Buddhism depressing?

Echidna64 3 years 3 months ago Posts: 3603	Immediately, we all think of the smiling Buddha, but buddhism does depict life in a negative way? Buddhists seek to detach themselves from desire Buddhists believe that life is suffering Buddhists believe that the world is an illusion Buddhists believe that nothing is permament since everything dies Buddhists seek escape from this cyclical life to reach Nirvana I've been reading up on Buddhism for a while now and it seems to me that Buddhism promotes withdrawal from society. What do you guys think?
