Happiness
There is an article by Annie Stuart called, “Why You’re Not Happy”
In this article she has asked numerous scientists, doctors, psychologists, and philosophers to comment on why people are not happy. Their comments are partially valid but not completely. They seem to be too determined trying to make people happy, that they loose sight of what makes them depressed in the first place…
Say if someone told you that you were being anti-social and that you should connect more with others, but there was a specific reason why you weren’t connecting with them.(such as an ex-boyfriend, or maybe a person that insults you and something you believe to be correct…) What is your reaction? (' cry ')Depression?(' emo ') Negativity? (' crying ')Unhappiness? Maybe you even take offense to the comment because the person making it doesn’t understand your feeling toward the situation, you tell your doctor and he gives you a prescription to take, and you hope that it will make you better.
I think that doctors treat it like it’s a sickness and that if you take medication for a few days it will get better. But they are wrong!… You can’t take some medication that you doctor prescribes to you and expect you’re “Unhappiness” to go away. If anything it might make it worse because of things like addiction to the medication, and the unwanted affect it may have on you.
Psychologists suggest that meditation and “connecting with your inner self” will lead you to the right path, and out of you’re “depressed state”. You can’t sit and meditate for hours and hours and truly expect you’re “Depression” to just disappear and not come back. Yeah, it might work for a while, but for how long? A day? Maybe a week? You can turn into a flipping time bomb in that small amount of time!!!(' burning_eyes ')
These trained doctor’s and scientists have it all wrong! Depression is caused by anxiety and a brief sense of insecurity, feelings towards another person that is disliked because of something they have done or said to hurt them. -You can’t fix something that you have not broken, but he who has broken it must set it right. –Dravine
So today, don’t ask yourself “Why You’re Not Happy”, but instead a different question, “Have you done anything affect the happiness someone else?”
