In today’s fast-paced world, everyone is running after their 9-5 jobs, chasing deadlines, trying to conquer the so-called work-life balance, etc. We somehow tend to lose those simple and little opportunities in life that can bring happiness to us.
Trying to match with the pace and facing the cutthroat competition, if we fail or lack somewhere builds a sense of inferiority complex among ourselves. In times where comparisons are made right from the brand you wear, the company you work in, the designation you hold, the fancy package you have, to the car you drive back home in. It feels that human life has become more of a rat race.
Unlike the good old days when lives were much simpler and the needs were less fancy. There were fewer chances of people undergoing any pressure or stress.
Most people have encountered constant feelings of sadness and depression at one or the other point in their lives.
Depression – The term which is no longer an alien term to even teenagers in today’s time.
