When you are depressed, you need someone to
talk to; someone who’s kind and understanding words are all it takes to make
you feel less toxic. More so, if the environment you live in is a toxic one, an
impersonal one, a non- caring one.
Someone asked me, which life is a better
one, the one of compromise or the one of loneliness? But aren't we all lonely
in some way? And don't we all live a life if compromise in one way or another? How
would you quantify or qualify either?
But if you are compromising because you
don't want to feel lonely, then you are in trouble. People can be like quicksands,
and those that are solid too, have to go away one day.
How much mental strength and understanding
of life must one have then, to absorb experiences in the right way and decide
what would work and what would not and yet having solutions do not necessarily
translate into action. There could be many, many obstacles on the way and one
must have the time, will and energy to overcome them.
