I did not stop at just improving Hawaii; all of the cold and dark cities that had a feeling of pure depression, I made them resplendent. Every single ounce of trash in the world, I consumed it, and turned it into mana. I changed the composition of the atmosphere to the perfect balance down to the last atom. My divinity blasted around the world making everything perfect.
Now, perhaps the world was perfect, but I could not make any given person less depressed than they were, so the easiest way to fix that would be erasing the hardships of those people by giving them an opportunity to change their life.
I did not fix their depression by giving them free hangouts. Rather I gave them a permanent option. No temporary solution can create lasting happiness, it has to be sustainable, even if it is hellish. If the problem is motivation, then it has to change at the source of their very soul. They have to give themselves drive to go through with an option.
