It is very easy to slip into an inertia
mode if things don't work out as you want in life, specially over a long period
of time. When disappointments keep happening and hope ebbs away slowly and
steadily. And " what's the point" becomes your theme song. And then,
if you are able to pull yourself up and out of THIS frame of mind, you are
truly admirable in spirit.
This is not to sit in judgement over those
who find it difficult to overcome this situation. It takes a Herculean effort .
I feel that just as we look upon
"annadaan"or feeding the needy as a divine service, bringing people
out of their depressions is a major service. Suicides are a result of such
hopeless depressions. Life is a gift but unfortunately, does not register as
one to those afflicted with deep hopelessness.
If every member of a family understands the
importance of this, and that if sharing and caring, this stage of depression
can be averted. God's work, for sure. And this also applies to caring for
orphans and those who have strayed out of anger and frustration with life.
