A solitude which primes to depression.

Lonesomeness is what furnishes us with dejection of the gloomy reality of what mantles our lives, we believe that depression is seeing someone wearing a low-spirited face filled with sadness yet the opposite might be the reality. 

How many of those that we feel are the happy campers and couples who we might consider as goals being cramped with misery despite awe-inspiring admirers might have nevertheless still loneliness curbs them when the cameras are off? These excitements come in due to the preconceived notion of what we feel we possess. Such as fans, plus wealth, but we are inept of owning the most precious of all which is our own heart. 

I can relate this scenario with the prudent words of Sushant Singh Rajput who committed suicide in Mumbai, an individual who was awarded as the best male actor in Indian Film Festival of Melbourne in 2017, saying ‘No matter what you achieve, what you want to aspire to be, or how famous and powerful you become, the most important thing is whether you are excited about each moment of your life because of your work and the people around you. 

Quit inspiring words but the question remains, are we excited to wake up every single morning, or are we on the verge of seeing death as a sign of tranquillity? Why do we feel lonely, Isolated, Despised, Unwanted, and Uncared for, or even Unattended? Do we feel segregated in this world and need help? Look around and see how many broken hearts, shattered dreams, dismissed thoughts, or even condemned potentials that are being verified by human critics. Should we listen to them, is a query that we are confused about, we lack the understanding to see beyond what we can reflect.

The above conveys us to the succeeding segments of a prevailing message from Sara Hegazy - Egyptian LGBT activist who committed suicide in Canada, saying ‘To my siblings – I tried to find redemption and failed, forgive me, to my friends – the experience (journey) was harsh and I am too weak to resist it, forgive me, and to the world – you were cruel to a great extent, but I forgive.’

The world is exacting with no doubt, the only aspect we need to adapt as individuals is we can only be at ease if we can appreciate our lives by seeing the world through the shoes of those who are below us instead of vying with those above us. 

The instant we can be grateful for our health by regarding those who are in Coma or those who have paralyzed, is the moment where we can appreciate our limbs by looking at how those without limbs can survive? If we can adapt this kind of notion then we won’t appreciate our lifelessness, but more besides that is the point of accumulating values…
