Why we Stress/ get Depressed

We stress in life because of our thought pattens, nothing more, nothing less, its that simple.
How we have come to get these thought pattens is also quite simple. We have participated in life.
We formulate these thoughts or beliefs from interaction with others. Parents, friends, the media, reading blogs etc....
If we are stressed/depressed then we have an incorrect belief about the reality of the situation. We are looking at life through a incorrect lens. Our view our lens , the way we look at life is incongruent with life's reality.
Even though we are told this time and time again, no single single event causes stress/depression. Not one, nothing, no way can any single event cause you stress. It is how we look at that single event that causes us stress or to be depressed. It is our belief about the event that causes us stress or get depressed. If the event caused depression, everyone who got divorced not some but everyone who got divorced would be depressed. I've been divorced and I'm Not depressed......

  1. " When thousands and thousands of people around the earth are celebrating, singing, dancing, ecstatic, drunk with the divine, there is no possibility of any global suicide. With such festivity and with such laughter, with such sanity and health, with such naturalness and spontaneity, how can there be a war?... Life has been given to you to create, and to rejoice, and to celebrate. When you cry and weep, when you are miserable, you are alone. When you celebrate, the whole existence participates with you.
