To be attuned to the pain of the world is a gift, a gift that can help you to help many people. But just because you are attuned to pain doesnt mean you need to live in pain. It is not a requirement. It is not a responsibility. You are not a bad person if you feel happy while others are sad. Be happy. Find a deep happiness in yourself and use that to lift others out of their pain. That is probably the greatest service you can provide for many people. I understand there are many factors that can relate to depression, that sometimes external help is needed, that sometimes the troubles of the world will overcome us, but the best way to defeat troubles in yourself are to let them die of neglect, while you focus on bringing happiness to others. Robin Williams surely touched and helped an amazing, amazing number of people. He touched us with his deep humanity. We could feel his care for others without ever meeting him in person, and in such a large variety of roles. But in the end it seems that the struggle to rise above the pains inside of ourselves and focus on what moves us forward, what makes the pain dissipate, is a constant struggle for some. If you are in that camp, I honestly think you are a blessed person, so please feel free to message me if you are ever struggling. And try to think of all the wonderful things you have done for others so that they brighten your heart and inspire you to do more. Depression in beautiful people is inconceivable to so many people helped by them. If you are depressed, ask someone close to you to remind you of how special you are to them. You are more special to many people than Robin Williams was to you.
