Better than a thousand useless words
is one useful word,
hearing which one attains peace.

Your depression comes from your fighting. Stop fighting it. What you need to understand is that happiness isn’t acquired. You can’t force happiness just like you can’t force sleep. You have to relax into it. Instead, allow yourself to be sad. It is okay to feel sad. But don’t Identify with the sadness. In other words, YOU are not the sadness. YOU are something that is experiencing sadness. Don’t feed into and encourage the sadness but just watch it. Let it run its course. Without the fuel of your thoughts, your emotions will not be able to sustain themselves for long. The nature of truth is that all things change. One emotion always gives birth to another. So don’t aim for happiness. Then the very struggle for happiness becomes your torture because every moment you spend looking for happiness is a moment in which you are not happy. Instead, find peace. Happiness comes out of peace, always. How can one not be happy when at peace? When you are willing to accept any moment, and work with it, then you will begin to know peace. Take heart. You are more than this and you can find it in you. Right this very moment. Stop struggling. Float and accommodate. When you’re sad, be sad. When you’re happy, be happy. Then you will start to move beyond both. Namaste.

Peace is not simply the absence of violence; it is the cultivation of understanding, insight and compassion, combined with action.
But how are we different from the thousands of people around the world who celebrated after the Twin Towers were hit?

Isn’t Killing for Peace a Little Ironic?
“Supposedly this war is being fought to promote democracy. Yet, as Stiglitz points out, it is being mostly sold and funded through hiding the costs from the public. Continuing our presence in Iraq may, with interest, raise the total to $6-7 trillion. Meanwhile, bin Laden roams free, and even more Islamicists hate us.”
