The quicksand of life.


DEPRESSION

Depression is a state of being in which a person becomes less interested in living and also in taking part in any sort of activities. In other words he/she becomes inactive and succumbs to pains and loneliness, Many of you can connect to this if you have experienced depression of any sort. Now the question here is whether we  know what are the different kinds of depression and what causes it?


For me, depression is the outcome of prolonged period of pain and state of being hurt. It’s like cancer, if not treated at its early stages, then can be fatal. But can we differentiate between being depressed or just being upset for something? That is the first thing to check when you think you are depressed. One should see whether it is just one thing which went wrong which is making you upset or it’s many things all together that causing pain in your life. And if it is depression then one should seek help. But most of the times, while being depressed we tend to stay alone and break all our connections with the outside world and in that state of mind we don’t see talking to people as an valid option. That is the major issue here. We often think we should be alone and even if we are with someone or other people we try to blend in by just wearing a fake smile. That’s completely normal, I have done the same. But that is not the cure for depression. Depression sucks the life out of you just like a quicksand sucks you in. 

Reason may be anything but the solutions lies within us. Sometimes, you have to fight against your own self to survive. Depression kills you from inside and leaves you heartless from the outside. And we are helpless towards it. Only our loved ones are capable of seeing our condition and only they can help you to overcome it. But if in reality there is no one with a depressed person, which happens most of the time, the person does things which are not only unhealthy but fatal. And we all know that, most of these kind of people who are depressed tend to commit suicide which they think is the valid solution, but that only creates more suffering to your family or loved ones. There remains a constant war inside you when you are depressed. You seek help but no one is there when you need them.

People may or may not be the reason of someone's depression but they surely are the solution to it. We as a human being should try to prevent that. If we come across anyone who is thinking less of his life and is depressed than we should not simply give him a psychiatrist’s number but instead should spend time with him and make him realize that there is more to life than just living. I am grateful to my loved one, who helped me understand all of this. And so I wanted to share this to you all also. I believe depression is an illness and can be cured just like any other we just need attention, care and love.

Perception and us.

Perception Perception or the way you see the world around you is the most creative power of human beings. We are the only ones who can view an object in more than one ways. Not in the different angles but different perceptions. Only humans can perceive differently than the rest of its species. Unlike any other living being.   And the people don’t realise this power of theirs and use it every single day. Perception changes everything, right from the way you see things, believe things or even trust issues. It’s the perception that creates the illusions and personalities of each person. They create the bubble around them and which sometimes is hard to penetrate and hence making them cynical and different from the rest of the people. The most mysterious and awkward thing is that the world senses this cynicism and treats it absurdly and in the most unimaginable way ever. In lay man terms, the world senses your fear and exploits it. And that my friends are the way of th...

The two best friends of life.

Lie & Truth The two best friends is the apt name for the two pillars of our life which are of the most importance. The great Lie which is always contrasted by the evergreen Truth. The perfect villain-hero combination of our lives. Lie teaches us to be creative in tough times but its never tells us that its the wrong way to deal with any situation. Whereas on the other hand, Truth reminds us that its not always about escaping from the situation. Both affects our life very differently but to some extent in a similar manner. The reason we we tell a lie or truth is the directly related to out nature and how we see any situation. Our brain tells us whether to tell what's right or what's wrong. But how does it affect our daily lives? Well, to understand this, we have to look how it affects our decisions and our behavior.  When we lie, we not only hide the information but also decrease our self-esteem. A lie can destroy whole life of yours. Lie a small word but is...
