Depression- The fastest growing monster of today!!!







If we believe what the reports say , we will come to know that  almost 60% of the youth today  is suffering from DEPRESSION. One may wonder why is it all happening?? The answer is clear and simple, people today want to achieve  a lot in  much less time. It  is really amazing that  a few years back what people used  to achieve by the age of fifty or say sixty,  the youth today  manages to achieve it by the age of thirty or may be even earlier. Ofcourse it signifies  DEVELOPMENT , TALENT and POTENTIAL. But my question is, even after  achieving everything that we want, why don't we end up feeling HAPPY??? Why are people today becoming more and more RESTLESS, more and more STRESSED . The more they achieve, the farther they tend to go from the term called INNER PEACE. We lack the patience to hear or bear anything .   The outcome  too is  not hidden from anyone today. We can see a lot many families breaking up, relations are being badly affected, people hesitating in  expressing themselves , people getting suppressed , nuclear families fastly taking place of the joint family culture.


It is very true that everything changes with time .Every generation contributes  something to the betterment of the society and the culture. Today when everybody seems to be busy running in the race of success, shouldn't one stop for a while and think whether the destination that  one is heading to, is  really  going to be worthwhile? Achieving everything  at the cost of one's health, happiness and peace  does not appear to be a sensible deal, does it??? At the end of the day, what one really needs  is PEACE OF MIND.And if we do not get it after putting  in this much, then there is seriously something wrong in our approach.And changing the situation is obviously in our hands only.  One should not forget that what we are getting today is much much more than what we used to get a few years back.The resources that we have today to help us reach our goal, are far batter than what we people had in the past, but still people are critical  .Impatience  is the root cause of all this . Nobody wants to stop and wait for anything today.Everybody wants instant results , but one should never forget that PATIENCE ALWAYS PAYS OFF WELL.The problems are only going to get  worse with age, nothing's gonna change unless we change our attitude towards life. I am not saying that one  shouldn't be competitive in today's race  and that one need not prove oneself in today's competitive world. Ofcourse we have to match up to the competition level but at the same time one has to learn to be patient. For once, stop competing with the world and try competing with yourself. Connect to yourself,  connect to your soul and  try knowing yourself better,Set small targets for yourself , share it with your friends , seek their help in achieving these targets, take time out from your busy schedule and meditate:) talk to yourself and you will find a way to inner peace for sure:)
