Study in Gray, Black and White (and rust)

Recently one of my blog members, Paul/Pacmac stated:

I have come to believe that just thinking or focusing on what is good or beautiful is no different than focusing on what is bad or ugly.

That is fine, but how is one to keep oneself out of depression with that frame of mind? If we follow that line of thinking then, there is nothing depressing or bad about depression.

I don’t think I can live that way. You can read more of our discussion that started on the usefulness of Deepak Chopras work in dealing with depression.

Deepak Chopra . Perception . Depression

Sometimes when I read Deepak Chopra, I am reminded of the old saying: vanity, vanity, all is vanity. If everything around us is simply perception, why then do we even bother doing anything, why did he bother to write the book. If there is nothing that exists outside of us, then why go on? Is everything in the world going on for just my benefit? Why then is there so much going on that I cannot pay attention to all of it?

I am grateful for the wisdom I am finding in Chopra, but sometimes the questions that his writings bring up get awfully BIG in my head. Sometimes these questions are not good for my recovery from depression. I am grateful that I have the ability to stay calm and objective to sort through these things.
