Let me guess: You’re also one of those fun-at-parties types, who quite firmly believes that depression doesn’t exist, either, aren’t you?

I’ve heard the spiel so many times: “Depression is just as real as The Vapours! ‘Depression’ is just another word for ‘selfish’, ‘lazy’, ‘cowardly’ and ‘immature’?”

Nope. I’m actually a bit bipolar myself. But at 66 I figured out a long time ago that the down will go away and the “up” is coming.

However, I believe everyone is responsible for their own actions. Period. As a Christian I also believe that this world is very much like The Matrix or one of those reality video games. It is ridiculously temporary. We each play the hand we are given and thank the Lord for his eternal promise. It all has a purpose.
