Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | Depression

in hive-153970 •  4 days ago 

Besides money, I believe one of the major causes of depression is constantly stressing over how our lives appear to others. As what Marcus Aurelius pointed out in Meditations:

“How much trouble he avoids who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only to what he does himself, that it may be just and pure; or as Agathon says, look not at the depraved morals of others, but run straight along the line without deviating from it.”

If we avoid comparing our successes and diligently minding our own business, we can free ourselves, at least in part, from depression.

I understand what you mean if it comes to avoiding trouble. Problems are nearly always caused by 3rd persons but depression?

It's a feeling that appears out of the blue, there's no need for a specific reason, a person to cause this mood swing.

If depressed money, a carreer, people, society aren't of interest at all. Nothing is.

Hmm, maybe you're right.

But this is how i see things, for me, nothing comes out of nowhere, i believe there's always a root cause.
Just because we may not know it for now, doesn't mean there isn't.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

True there can be a reason but this reason can always be in the DNA.

Yes, I've heard. It's unfortunate that you actually can inherit it genetically.

I agree with you. I would add that this depression will not go away quickly. It is more of a long-term stress.

Right, many factors can lead to depression. One also you explained.

I totally agree with you. Money is not the main factor causing depression.

There are parts that I agree with your opinion, such as we should stay away from toxic people who may not even care that their words hurt others.

We can choose our friend but please do not bully those toxic people, we don't know why they act like that and toxic people needs guidance, we could be his/her guidance . No man is an island. We need someonevto hear us. For me, I am willing to help their negative outlooks .

You are right. Such people do need guidance. I really appreciate you having the intention to guide them.

Agree so we have to do our own business.. Dont look those life better than ours . Its better to see how many lives worst than our life.

Exactly. It's just one of the ways we can avoid or lessen depression. Of course, there are plenty other ways but this one helped me with mine.

We have different situation, we don't know what depressed others. For ourselves, we need to hold on we have to think iit always that there are so many blessings ahead and the wheel of our life is not only in one position.. We depressed, we recovered and learned a lesson from it.

Very well said.

Keep going my friend and we never give up. No one help us .
