Depressed people and happy people are isolated. I don’t know what depressed people feel like. However, from the three people I’ve come across, depression calls attention to the self.
I’ve learned that being happy is not enough. It’s funny right? Isn’t that something in our human nature? It’s never enough.
When you are happy. You are happy with yourself, I believe it’s difficult to include others in your happiness. Because happiness is felt from you as an individual from your body, looking out into the world.
I have problems, but I still feel happy because of the sense of pride I feel in counting problems in the fingers in my hand.
Anyway I have learned that being happy and trying to sustain that happiness can make you self-centered. THis is going to be hard but once you feel happy, you have to move on and figure out how to share that happiness and be useful for other people.
