Part 1/2
Can you guess what it is, before I reveal the answer?

The hidden enemy bares it's fangs against us. It is within everyone of us, eating us away from our inside, at a different rate for different people.
It's thousands of ghostly claws ravage us from all directions, at every waking hour and every moment of sleep.
The darkness of night seems endless, the end of eternal torment not in sight. We feel the unease of our souls, but we ignore it all the same. We have learnt this skill long ago and are used to practicing it all the time, and so once again just like we did it in the past, we ignore the warning signals and seek abode in our ignorance, as our final place of rest, where this enemy finally catches up to us and ends this game of hide and seek.

Part 2/2
But, no matter how strong this enemy is, we all stand a fair and equal chance to defeat it, if we choose to fight.
Just as it catches upto us, this invincible enemy finally slips, with an overconfidence rooted in it's overwhelming strengths and past achievements. If we, at this very moment, decide to face it straight without fearing it's collosal form, like a cornered rat, left without options, we suddenly realise that it is nothing but a mask, phantasmic and illusory, exceptionally complex, but devoid of any meaning. The only thing it fears is it's eternal nemesis: true meaning. This sudden insight, gave all our sufferings a meaning. The simple meaning though not complex, is equally strong as it's nemesis. Since we are not willing to let go of the true meaning, which is something dearer to us than our very lives, this enemy flees in all directions it came from. The Sun has risen, ending the night and the enemy lays defeated.
Yes, it is possible for everyone to defeat depression, just like I did it.

Madhu, is the answer related to your previous post?



Or is this a brand new theme?

Yes it is....first post is about the superficiality, how we boost it.
Second is how to overcome it.

Depression is nothing but a loss of meaning and purpose. We reach that point ourselves by eroding our true meanings by listening to superficial opinions of others and practicing gratifying others day in and day out. Not even in sleep our thoughts are free of these boundations imposed by the judgement of others. Of course it's nemesis will be a true meaning or purpose in life. Our strongest desires are riddled with greatest fears, but if we let those fears become a compass, we truly find the way out.
