This is very good and well said, especially the first seven lines. I must disagree with the last five lines. I do admit that I, who battles depression, do feel at times like the last five lines are true.
Thank you Paul,as always, for your interest, insights and honesty. In life I try to wind my way through both its beauty and its horror. Fortunately I have never had to deal with too much depression, just that created by broken relationships. Life, even in these dark times now, never depresses me, always just inspires. The fact that I truly believe this is my one and only chance at existence makes me all the more appreciative of the time I have spent and still might have.
