It ain't an attribute at all, buster. It's a process. One that I usually manage to avoid, but I've had my negative moments. Some days I feel like a two-bit loser. When that happens I go to the local speakeasy and have a few drinks and ponder. Something usually turns up if ya keep your eyes open. One thing I have found that instantly cures depression: mortal danger. When someone is tryin' to kill me with a knife, a gun, or his bare hands, I find I get un-depressed real fast. I ain't got time for it. This is why some guys become soldiers of fortune, gun runners, boxers, that sort of thing. It ain't the money, it's the adrenalin. Keeps you from gettin' depressed for too long.
