CONTROLLING NEEDS

Several causes of depression can be summarised into one NEEDS especially those that touch emotions, anxiety and hunger. Common examples for each are love, affection, trust, expectations and gold hunting (hustling). He that is unable to control his needs tend to spend most of his time in frustration, panic and being stressed out which finally gets him depressed. Its not easy to manage this part of our being due to its tendency of being a part of our daily life. Most are unable to pull out of this dreadful life cycle. They work harder to try and satisfy or impress the needy part. For the rest of their lives, they always do so but end up poorer, exhausted and depressed. An example is a retiree around who realised he has been a slave all his youthood. No matter ones hard work, the needy part is never satisfied. The more one tries to satisfy his needs, the more he gets depressed. The alternate solution is mostly ignored, thus a relaxed mind that is frequently oiled with knowledge. If the hustler oiled his mind with adequate of such, he would be using the little he has to generate more. And eventually, this reduces his chances of overworking. King Solomon is no touch, he asked for the brains and everything was falling in place, Gold, silver e.t.c. investing in the brain is very helpful and can both treat our needs because we may manage our approach to humans, material things and our emotional part. But the needy part is given much consideration no wonder some are aging faster due to man made pressure. Needs differ each day, today feeling like acting crooked, the other day honestly. Today feeling like eating all day the other drinking. But investing to help oneself sharpen thinking is very satisfying because it can be used anytime and any day and less likely cause depression provided that the information is absolutely correct. Those that enjoy a healthy and happy life are not driven by needs but by a free and relaxed mind that is continually taking in knowledge.
