I had a memorable experience, which I wish to share with those who are depressed due to a feeling that nobody loves or cares for them.
Few years ago one of my best friends went under depression and developed a feeling that he is no longer required in this world as he is not loved or cared by anybody. I knew that it was nothing but the result of his pessimistic approach; self created presumptions and negative thinking. I, therefore, came out with a novel idea. I purchased a nice bouquet of flowers for him and sent it with a tag reading “From One Who Loves You Most”. On receiving the bouquet my friend got confused and started listing out people who could have sent him those flowers. But, he failed to reach to a conclusion that who loved him more than others. Then he realized that all his apprehensions and presumptions were baseless and imaginary and everybody known to him loved him more than anybody else. The pessimism started giving way to optimism and he became a changed person and leads a normal life thereafter. Needless to mention that he I never told him that who had sent the bouquet.
Through this real life experience of mine I learnt that most of our fears and anxieties are self-created and imaginary. We should never let our emotions overpower our mind. In fact, there is nobody in the world who is not loved by anybody. Even if it is true one should not stop loving himself and go in self-condemnation. It is even worse than committing suicide.
