RE: Pains - a new teaser from my upcoming book

in #poetry6 years ago

"As they look from far at their friends' feed and scroll among hundreds of posts, all with happy faces, loneliness settles in. They wonder if their realize how lucky they are to be healthy and have a whole life ahead of them. We all take things for granted and forget to be grateful for what we have."

Sad ... but so true!

There are so many people depressed about their lives ... and don't even stop to think that they could have had it much worse.

If you have health, if you have all your body parts still intact...
... if you have a roof over your head, food on the table is not a problem...
... if you don't live under a war zone like the Syrians, nor under an apartheid Regime like the Palestinians, nor under a civil war like the Ukrainians, nor under a financial meltdown like the Venezuelans...

It's time to stop being depressed and consider yourself lucky.

Thanks for your post, @lymepoet!

You're welcome! Best way to prevent depression is to cultivate gratitude by starting the day with a quick meditation and think of what we need to be grateful for.
