Depression is a result of the failure of an ambitious mind.
We are conditioned to be ambitious from the childhood.
Our parents ignite the feeling of competition in us.
It satisfies their ego.
If we perform better, we get prizes.
If we do not perform better, we are punished.
This is the whole system of education.
It aims to create more & more competition, without bothering about its adverse effects.
The reality is that only one amongst the many can come first.
But they do not bother for those remaining students who could not come first & the inferiority complex they have picked up.
The person who has won the race, is not happy because of his victory, but because he has defeated someone.
And if the pleasure is dependent on the pain of others, then it can not last long.
The life is an echo, whatever we give to others, we get in return.
The result is frustration & depression.
  What could be the alternative of competition & ambition then? Instead of ambition, we can think about our growth in every dimension, transcending our-selves rather than others.
This way we will never get frustrated or depressed.
We can bring out our talents & blossom.
Flowering is our destiny & bliss is the result.
  The second thing, which we are conditioned for, is to make an idol in life & try to become like somebody.
The reality is that everybody is unique & can not copy anybody.
It is like a lotus flower trying to become a rose flower.
We can not get the fulfillment in doing so.
Instead we should discover our hidden talents & express it in our own ways.
  If we can avoid these two things in life i.
e.
ambition & idealism, we can say goodbye to depression.
