everytime we have to face problems, troubles or just the simple things we have planned they turn out to be a failure, we get sad, even cry and depressed for a while. couldn't we look at the bright side of life that everything that happenes to us happanes with a reason, and even if something goes wrong some other thing turns out to be the best choice or decision...these smaller victories should be the light when we only see clouds.

I think there is no doublt. Because before the problems appear, we must fill with the expectation to these matters, hope all of them goes well,however, is contrary to what expects. Just so called ,the hope bigger, disappointed is bigger.

Yes you are right everything has a reason and we have to take the bad time with the good times to appreciate the god times more, a lot of people do not look at it this way and therefore it causes them more grief.

Because we are human and think too much...In our mind are many,maybe too many stuff worries and problems.We must to,,delete,,sometimes what we have to much. I believe that we never must to be depressed because of the world where we live,that is not our fault,I think that we are fault because our mind,our ideas. You must to be optimist,that is an advantage!

I think this is our human nature,but we have to develop it a little as you said.When I became sad for anything happened to me I try to see what the main cause that drove me into this situation and start to get conclusion,and everytime I say to my self it is ok nobody learn without cost. But sometimes a series of unhappy events happen which make me feel as a loser this is too bad and leave very deep marks in me

Sadness and depression are two different things. I get sad over things, but it doesn't mean I am depressed over these minor happenings. It is when the little things seem to snowball and other factors in your life become overwhelming that depression can set in. To stop this from happening, we must grab hold of that small ray of sunshine. Seek out what makes you happy. Hold it dear. If depression settles in, seek professional help. Do not feel that you are alone.

Because we fail to accept change as a part of our lives

I guess because we feel that it's not happenning to no one else, only to us. And we feel that everything else that we're going to do is fail. When things fail that I want to do in a row I get sad it makes me feel like my self-esteem is lowered. But I have noticed that later on in my life good things, even better, 2x better things happen to me. In a row. It makes me feel so good. But as anyone should know that that doesn't mean that bad things aren't going to happen no more.

we get depressed everytime when we fall is because we would have some dreams,plans or expected a lot about it when it goes wrong ,then we dont have self confidnce for that period and fall depressed... in my case i expected my intimate friend will be with me throughout my life but it did not happen she left me and chosed a better one than me and went off! still now i cant forget her,i ws truthful to her but she wasnt!!! so everything goes like this!!!

That is a good suggestion to look at the bright side of things. Although when something bad happens it isn't always the way to cope at first. I know me my emotions get depressed when something bad has happened in my life.

only people of faith realize that all things happen for the good of us involved.what often seems a bad time will actually turn out to be helpful in some way in the future.actually in my childhood some things happened that I guess many would say should have affected me in negative ways and even those negatives turned into positives when I became a grandmother.All life experiences good and bad are useful as lessons for someone in your life in your future.Look at the kidnapping the other day of the young boy who was found alive in 3 or4 days,he was found,but had not he been taken the other child that had been missing for years would never had been.Gos is awsome in His ways.

i think if we are not thankful of good times ,then our hearts become darkened. i think this causes us to be depressed.

I rarely get depressed when small things happen in my life. I try to always remain positive. I do have a friend though who usually gets depressed easily and has a hard time coping with certain things. And I'm usually there trying to lift her up. I think whenever there's someone who's negative, you should always try to be the positive person.

well i m totally agree wid ur thought as smetimes their r some setbacks in our lives and we even get a bit emotional ,that is the time we have to look onto the bright side because it show us that we can do the things which had made us upset....

i do tryt to think like that .its the way life is. sometimes i think my life is too full of drama and why is it that my friends never have anything happen to them . mind you some people drift throuigh life quietly and nothing ever does happen to them .theres no point worrying , just get back up and start again .
