Depression
should not be allowed to step close to us. It has many, many repercussions. If
you examine the reasons, one of the foremost ones would be the pain of
unfulfilled expectations, especially of unrequited love.
As
we know, no man is an island. But in developing relationships, there comes a
tipping point which turns the relationship into one of dependency, into a need
of a crutch. Automatically then, this is the start of the end of the
relationship. Healthy bonds work differently. They can work on mutual
dependency better than one stronger and one weaker link.
There is every need to strengthen our backbone to stand upright,
even if to walk alone. Inner strength compensates for the presence or
perception of many lacks. And it would be within the preview of wisdom to be
aware that we journey alone from life to life. So, holding onto to any form of
crutch is going to be nothing short of meaningless. Then why the depression?
