Sadness
is a natural reaction to awakening to see the way
things are.
But we can either become depressed and lost in our
sadness,
or decide to use this awakening to inspire us
to work to change things to the way we wish they could
be.

and we can get depressed, even sick. We are spirits
as well as bodies, and spirits need nourishment.

can.

Geldof
But if somebody dies, if something happens to you,
there is a normal process of depression, it is part

Common sense dictates that we evaluate our beliefs on
the basis of how they affect us. If they make us more
loving, creative, and wise, they are good beliefs. If
they make us cruel, jealous, depressed and sick, they
cannot be good beliefs.
