Depression

Depression depends upon your character. How youn accept the joyful situation and the painful situations. It depends upon the four temperaments such as sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic temperament. Each temperament needs to be educated otherwise one falls into depression against excessive indulgement. We cannot accept the event as it comes on the spot. We cannot react immediately. We need not neglect even against the consequnces. So one needs great wisdom to handle the conflicts and the excessive outcomes. One needs a proper balance which can be articulated as maturity. We cannot killa a person who offends us. We cannot be the passive victims neither. We cannot sidelight a matter of conflict. We need to take a right action but we have to assure peace to ourselkves and peace to others. We have to denounce the wrong but we have to love the sinner and try to bring the sinner to hios senses that is help him analyse his actions and choose a remedy. Forgiveness kindness truth and justice should embrace eachother. Thus we have to maintain the healthy relationship with ourselves and our neighbor, otherwise accumulating the records of hurts and injuries we carry within us a septic tank and we indsuce poison to others too. Instead if we release out all our tensions with peace calm attitude we emerge as great leaders. Taking revange by inflicting hurt or shame is not a remedy and that does not proclaim our greatness. But correcting a person with sound principles, confronting the actions with all respect and fraternity is a great gift.

that's actually wrong. what you describe there is a symptom of depression, not a cause of it. depression is an illness, not a thought process. it's caused by part of the brain not functioning right, and causing an inbalance of chemicals that produce an artificial feeling of sadness and lack of energy. the trouble is, when you go around saying that it is caused by a thought process, that almost places blame on the sufferer, like they caused it themself. but they can no more control their brain chemical processes than a sufferer of diabetes can just decide to make their own insulin.

I think in life we should just roll the dice. Lets just do what we think is right and just deal with whats coming next. This is not a perfect life and we should always keep that in mind. We should give it our best to enjoy everything but we also have to be ready for anything. What will be will be. That is just how it is with this life. Let us enjoy this life while we have it.

That is not quite true. There are so many types of depression and trigger points are different for different people. Also it is possible for a person to have different types of depression all at the same time. For instance I have borderline bi-polar, anxiety based depression with schizophrenic tendancies (irrational thought processes). But as of yet there appears to be no trigger for me. Attacks are random and have no pattern to them.
