Hi I am 28 years old female. Lately I am having constant negative thoughts in my mind. Thoughts about life and death. Sometimes I think what's the purpose of this life, if all of us are going to die someday. I think why we are running after money, fame and whatever, if the ultimate truth is death! I also think like there is someone divine looking at us constantly from the sky and we are so small creatures in front of him! do we have any value in this life? because what is the use of doing whatever we are doing in our daily life when ultimately we are going to die one fine day! I know these sounds weird, but I have these thoughts running in my mind every now and then. I think I am depressed. I dont know. I think I am sad.Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Dear, actually, you are being wise. You are learning life. This is your transition period. Wise men always say, learn about yourself, before learning others. Now you are learning about yourself, life and its details. Means you are confronting truth. Many people are not able to do so at this age because they are busy with their life, career, today, tomorrow etc. In your case, I think, you have enough time to think. That is your problem. You should be able to distinguish between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also brings on symptoms identical to depression but they are short lived. Were you disappointed in the near past? anyhow, I request you to post a detailed private question to me. I shall try to explain life and death as I understood it. That could answer your questions for now. Take care.
