SUSHANT....
The name that is on my mind since yesterday. Life is not about the destination it is about the journey. I am sure an intellect like him definitely would have known this. Even then he decided to skip the journey , and nobody knows why. To all those whose response to the news was , “ why someone who have it all would do that “. Your answer is HE DIDN'T HAVE IT ALL . Obviously , he was missing a puzzle piece and that’s why he quit. Now , am not just talking for him , this post is for all of us. There are many reasons for depression. Might be because the person lost someone close to their heart , may be they didn’t find the purpose of their life, or simply they are exhausted. Reason could be any but remember mental agony is same as , if not more than physical pain. But the good news is you cannot share physical pain but you can share your mental agony.
Now for every of the reason above we may come up with solution and yes there are, but what we need to understand is that , the suffering is real. What would your reaction be , when you have broken a leg and in pain and someone comes to you and say , you know what I broke a leg once and I withstood the pain. Now you should too and get to work. This hurts much more than that . When someone is already depressed that , they don’t mean anything to anybody, imagine what they would go through when you say , “they shouldn’t worry much and snap out of it” . Yes , there are people who snap out of it but some can’t . That too in the present situation, loneliness, joblessness or over work can be hurting when people can’t continue their therapy or miss gathering with friends etc. Let’s use technology these days and reach out to friends . A simple “hi” a day would definitely make a difference.
Also people , remember when you think of taking such a drastic step , remember the pain you went through , the pain that made you to take such a tragic end , you are passing on the same pain to someone who loves you .” Nobody loves me “CANNOT be true. Feed a dog daily and definitely it is going to miss you when you are gone. Instead of trying to make people love you , try making a difference in someone’s life . All said , whenever you feel low , you can always ping me in Facebook. I may not give you a solution to your problems but I sure can hear you . Be it pain or anger , throw it on me , I can do that for you what someone else did for me to make me whole again. If I can be back , U also can.
THIS TOO SHALL PASS....Always...
Love
U

Very meaningful and comforting post Uthra. We, especially our generation the pre-millenials seem to have forgotten that the very purpose of life is living. So many global, societal, personal changes fueled this in our times and invariably all successive generations are also falling prey to it. There are some who succumb to the pressure by taking extreme step, many live with this pressure like iron slowly rusting. The biggest irony is once something like this happens, the living judge and advise the departed :-) Sad. The only purpose of life is to live - like how all the natural beings around us do. Thank you for your comforting words.
ReplyDeleteVery meaningful and supportive post U. Unfortunately so many global, societal and personal changes happened from the pre - millennial generation to which all successive generations have also fallen prey. We all have forgotten that the only purpose of life is to live, like how all other natural beings around us do. The biggest irony here is when few among us succumb to this, many who live start judging and advicing the departed :-) sad. Thank you and best wishes for taking a comforting approach through your words
