There's Nothing More Depressing Than a Broken Heart
There's nothing more depressing than a broken heart. A broken heart doesn't heal nearly as quick as a broken bone. A broken heart can come from anywhere, a loved one dies, someone you love leaves you with nothing but memories, a best friend stabs you in the back. What do all of these things have in common? Love. I do not pretend to understand how the cause of a broken heart starts with love yet the healing balm applied to a broken heart is love.
There's nothing more depressing than a broken heart. Perhaps this is why depression is so common. Our culture lives for a broken heart. There's nothing better than a sad movie, a song about someone leaving, a book about someone dying. Happiness is hard to find anymore. A happy ending for a story, for a movie is hardly ever attainable in the real world. We look for happiness. We search for what those stories have but we never find it. So we turn to what we know is real, what we know can be touched in the real world.
A broken heart.
