Depression in our Time. Part 2
One stupid Friday I woke up to the most sad news that said a prominent business man whom I interacted with had committed su***de. "Awww , OH my God ,what happened?"I exclaimed en repeatedly asked one of his drivers who told me such a disheartening message, "he was found lying at the back yard with an empty can of pills in his left palm ."
Well my mind started to battle on what had really happened as I had spoke with him the previous nyt , checking on the proposal that he had promised to fund , all my dreams had been drugged in a handful hydrocodone (pills) and all my hope and the Moses of my success, lay in the cold rooms for nyaradzo.
"Trust ,you are a very gud young man I really want us to work together en grow a business together," these words rang in mind repeatedly as I asked myself what went wrong to this happy en ever smiling role model of mine , little did I know that the smile I see from outside is not the same as what is happening from the inside . This man was sinking in huge debt close to us$600k in loans for business investments and the whole empire I admired was jus a glass house which would break anytime as the loan sharks were now upon his case chasing their repayments yet there was nothing to payback. I started thinking "am I also another cause for his death since I kept calling checking on our deal?"
Well , we are living with depression on a daily basis due to the image that we want to portray to the society and Community at large. We wish to live a life that so en so is leaving ,become so stressed wishing if it was us living such a life yet we don't know what that person is going thru in that life we will be admiring.
*Business people are living with depression fighting hard to keep their businesses afloat in fear that if it crashes the society will label them failures.
*Pastors are living with depression from their marriages en family fighting hard not to divorce simply becoz the congregation sees them as a happy couple en family.
*Co-workers are living with depression due to the lifestyle en class that they want to maintain buying expensive items just for the society to see that they are a working class.
*Our sisters are depressed simply becoz of debts they accumulated jus for the sake of sweet perfumes, make up en expensive hair just for the sake of living a so called "soft life."
*Our fellow brothers are suffering depression simply becoz they have that beautiful expensive money monger in their lives whom they can't let go simple becoz she is beautiful yet expensive to maintain.
Working your way up till the Community puts yu into a certain class is not a problem but maintaining the level or class becomes the issue becoz yu are no longer doing it for the betterment of your life but to impress the crowd. Who said living en expensive life means having made success? A person in rural areas wishes he was in the city (byo or hre) , a person in the city wishes he was across the boarder, a person across the boarder wish they were overseas. Such is the principle of life a man with big butted woman wishes he had a slender a man with a slender wishes he had a curvy woman.
Where are we going as a generation , the reason why most man are dying or go made its due to depression which also comes from their wives en family , a lot is expected from them yet they have a little to offer. Being a man doesn't mean you can't break , all a man has are muscles en brains that you can only use to uplift your life yet our counterparts have got an upper hand of organs that they may use to manipulate you.
The first thing that one needs to do before the road to recovery is to accept your problems before you even think of solving them.
