I think some things are bigger than our disease.
Sometimes our grief can be lessened by praying for others, like the families of these brave, caring people.
Many children were about thirty minutes from seeing mom or dad. Instead, they watched them be incinerated.
I would sign up today for a lifetime of depression so that anyone of those people wouldn't have to die as their children watched.
The ultimate cure for depression is love and we must realize the sacrifice these people have made to further science.
So many discoveries have come from space exploration. Who knows, a cure for depression could come from the scientific studies they do on returning astronauts.
America and Israel have suffered a tremendous loss. If we depressed people want to feel better, we must be willing to comfort others who are hurting so deeply that we can't even imagine their pain.
When people who are suffering learn to comfort others that are in terrible grief, we find one way out of the darkness.
I've said things like you have said today but I've had to realize that the universe does not revolve around me or my illness.No disrespect intended. What you said is hurt coming out as anger and sometimes that's the best we can do. But do read about these people and you will see the tremendous loss we have all suffered.
