Let’s Listen Before We All Are Lost!

What world are we living in? Is it you and me depressed or the entire world? What' wrong with us, timing, or just us?

Since the lockdown or even before, depression has always been hitting our generation like anything else. What concerns me more is our attitude towards it. 

Depression is not a mental disorder, its a phase, and let's accept a fact that we all go through it -little or more. Some can deal with it, but not everyone is a good swimmer. And that's why we need to deal with more power and strength to save our friends, family, and society. 

Over time, "Happiness has become a myth", just a myth. We are just happy in our pictures, and we are so much into flaunting it that all our smiling pictures and happy moments are on social media channels. And what drives our happiness these days is no. of likes we get on our so-called, "pretending to be happy" pictures. 

Do we flaunt our fears and failures, like happiness and success? If no, why? Aren't they a part of life? Failure stories are as important as success stories. 

In today's time, we are dealing with something, or the other, generation X, is dealing with the disease while generation Z is dealing with drugs and depressions. But we are too alone to share with anyone as we know the sad truth, "no one care". 

If I'm talking to the right generation, I want to know how many of us are surviving on drugs to deal with depression? And how long are we going to deal with it like that?

Time is not far when people will be dying because of depression more than any other condition. Unemployment, poverty, and many other problems are hitting the globe day-by-day. Are we prepared to deal with the time yet to come?

No. Not at all. We all have been trained to live happily in good times, not in bad. Unfortunately, time is no more good. So, let's learn to live happily in bad times too. 

Everyone around us is waging a battle no one knows. Irrespective of age, gender, and social status, deep inside, we all tried to waging a battle. 

And somewhere we are all tired of pretending to be happy. As we think, no one cares. 

Let's stop pretending and start caring! Be an ear for someone who needs to listen out. 

Let's listen to the people around us before its too late, and we are all lost.  Stop being heroic and start practicing being more humane. Let's talk about the problem we go through and how we are dealing with it. We never know, someone might offer a direction to a lost soul. 

Let's find those who are lost and be more than just a body. Be a listening human and kind soul.

We together can kill the depression before it kills us all. 

In the end, I pledge to listen to as many people I can. 

I would appreciate sharing your story in comments and DM me personally if you want to talk. 

Let's "Live In Peace before we Rest In Peace".
