Depression & Responsibility

Depression is the result of our dependency on the people or circumstances. We are influenced by the outside conditions & people highly. We have given all our buttons in the hands of others.

We do not live; rather we drift with the masses. Our life is more like an accident than a phenomenon. Hence the result is frustration & depression.

The principle of responsibility says that you are in -charge of your life. If you are sad, you are accountable, if you are feeling happy, you have created it.

The most important thing to discard depression is to take responsibility of depression. Responsibility simply means the ability to respond. Depression is the result of our reactions to the situations rather than response.

There is a gap between the impulse coming from out side & our response to it. Impulse is like some body has said something wrong about us. Response is, we can either become angry or take it positively & act appropriately. Being angry is called reaction.

Reactions become chain reactions. It is a vicious circle & lead to either violence or depression. People who are weak psychologically become depressed. People who are strong become criminals.

Both the options are not good. We can select a third option of becoming responsible for our behaviors. Life can be full of joy, bliss & happiness but only if we take responsibility.
