Wow... I can only say that depression is sort of enlightening. How do I put this....hmm. Depression is you telling yourself everything wrong about yourself that you've always known about but had hoped you'd overcome. It can be beyond exhausting physically because you are beating yourself up emotionally. In effect, you are poisioning yourself slowy, or quickly, depending on the person and how bad it is.
I am very strong willed. I am overly emotional, overly critical, over protective, arrogant, selfish and whiney. Everything I dislike in other people, makes sense doesn't it? Those things we hate about ourselves and have worked so hard to try to overcome are what annoy us in others. It annoys because it scares us. Scares us that maybe we haven't overcome, that maybe we will see its acceptable or worse yet we are judging that I've tried to overcome, why haven't you?
There are those who relish putting others down. When your life lacks compliments or happiness, the only way to feel better is to let someone you are close to feel that they are smaller than you. Whether it is for the need to have them need you or just to gain a bigger ego, it isn't right.
Therefore, after explaining all this, why can a smile, a ♥, a text, a smile; how can those lighten your day? How can they turn a depressant to a better part of their journey? Because its positive. Positive will always win out Negative in the war over a soul. We are human beings, we crave love, touch, happiness, light. Is it really worth it when you are upset to make everyone else around you upset by snapping at them? Isn't it worth the time to smile? Say something nice - sometimes that be very hard but still.
"but the master comes and the thoughtless crowd can never quit understand, the worth of a soul or the change that's wrought, by the touch of the master's hand."
