Depression is about feeling incapable in the face of ugliness in this world. Recognizing the ugliness in this world and feeling incapable in the face of it is like self-torture, but it doesn’t have to be this way because life has also a bright side that the depressed person might overlook or undermine.
Life has a perfect balance between ugliness and brightness and by realizing this balance only we may live a healthy life.
Life has rules and it’s our job to make these rules work for our favor instead of only working against us.
What made you depressed?
Understanding the sources and the roots of any problem is the first step to solving it.
What made you depressed is usually some sort of defeat or loss, you may have lost your dream, or you may have lost a loved one but it must have been a defeat or loss that is non-reversible.
This loss, or even a series of losses and defeats, made you lose your purpose of living, there’s nothing to live for, no dream to pursue, no loved one to stay with, nothing…
Your feelings after a huge loss like this are totally understandable, no purpose for living, being tired of the ugliness of life, and so on …
But you don’t have to continue living this way…
The Second Side Of Life
Life has two sides: an ugly and dark side, and a beautiful and bright side. Focusing on one side and ignoring the other will always lead to trouble.
Keeping the balance between the two sides of life is the healthiest thing you can do, with every chance that passes a new chance arise, with every loss there’s a chance to win.
Life didn’t end at the ugliest moment you have gone through, this is what you need to understand and remember: Life will always have two sides.
