Depression - Bad? Nah, it's good.

 “Stay away from depressed people, for depression is contagious and it might ruin you” atypical and ordinary warning given by the redundant people in the society, isn’t it? But what actually is depression? Is it really capable of ruining one’s life or it is the backstage story of every successful person?

Depression is often blamed to be the reason for self-destruction. “A state where in a person thinks negative” a dictionary quoted definition. But what actually is depression and what causes it? Depression is when you’re unable to find happiness, as simple as that. The inability to find happiness is probably when you couldn’t achieve a goal or maybe because of the foul rumors you hear about yourself or maybe you lost someone special. There can be numerous causes, specifying just two or three would be an injustice to the others. So basically, there’s no head and straight reason to grief about. It can be just anything.

Ever wondered why people become so vulnerable to depression? 

It’s because they are hardly ever understood. How would you feel when something that means the world to you is taken away? It need not be important you but it probably was their life for them and taking away that thing from them makes them feel as if there’s no more reason left to live. Never think of them as weak people, for they are strong enough to endure the pain and still breathe. Their wounds might never heal, but certainly, their hearts are pure. So pure that they fail to notice the buzzing horde around them trying to blacken it. Trying to hurt them in every way possible, just so that their pure hearts become impure. Depression is just a feeling that’ll get over time. They might be ravaged in their low times, when there’s nobody to give them a helping hand but remember me when these people rise up, they’ll rise higher than you. Just the way a tiger takes two steps back before pouncing on its prey. Yes, falling in depression are those two steps, and they’ll be ruthless once they are back on track. They’ll set up goals and will prove themselves. They won’t be victims of emotions anymore. That’s when you’ll find them hovering above the clouds. 

You better not underestimate depression, for those are just two steps that you are taking back and next, you will set yourself on a journey of success.
