Sure, we all would, really. I mean, there ARE lots (most of it) of places in Lamentations where it gets really sad and depressing. That would explain the name: because to lament something is to regret it. But you must remember that there are several verses that are uplifting to a lot of people. A very famous Christian speaker Joni Earickson Tada (who is a quadraplegic) actually went from feeling sorry for herself to being a huge inspiration all starting with a few verses in Lamentations 3:22-26. Yes essentially it was God who helped her, but he helped her with his Word and it came from what most people (yes, me included) the most depressing of all 66 books of the Bible! God put it there for a reason even if we cannot understand why.
