Just recently my old friend just jump off the cliff to kill himself. We were surprise to learn he was depressed for a long time and he just told her wife he would be visiting their rest house, their contact was off for days and then they found his body decomposed already down the cliff.
He is rich, He got two kids with a beautiful wife, house and cars but still end up depressed even with all the success. He is just 45.
I follow the advice of my father, just enjoy life.
You are very correct, there is nothing in this life. So people should do things that will give them peace of mind and will also makes them happy, in order not to fall into depression, because depression is real. So one should be mindful of what they do or engage themselves into for their own benefits.
Also, its very good not to involve or do things that are not relevant in life, or you want to be like your friends, stop comparing yourselves with other people, for all this will not yield out anything good in life than just misery and all negative vibes. So rather than comparing yourselves, work hard, be positive, do your best and leave the rest for God.
Don't overstressed yourselves for things that don't has an end to it, live your life and enjoy it to the fullest because there is no duplicate.
