Define depress?

What would cause you to be depress?
I came across numerous blogs and many a time(many a times/many atime/many atimes??), the root of depression of my age comes from failed relationship or heartbreaks simply.

Is that a sufficient reason to be depressed?
I do know that heartbreaks are big blows in life.
When I talked about being depressed,I do mean those group of people just talked about giving up their life all the time,but never really doing it.
(What a letdown.)

Maybe different people had different placings in life.
Thus losing different things do subject to different levels of torments and since we are all different,I may not understand how heartbreaks should be the reason of depress.

So I tried to understand but I couldnt seem to be kind enough to not look down of those people who are always saying that they are better of dead whenever bad times of a heart affair took place.

I walked through the streets of Bugis after work today. The temple areas.
There are so many people,old,poor,frail,foreign,sick,handicapped etc sweating under the hot sun just hoping to get a few dollars perhaps that could help them tide through another day. Just another day.

I'm not saying that they perhaps not deserve it nor implying that they do.
Perhaps comparing, they are still alot more fortunate than those in the poorer nations.
If I can,I would spare them a lunch box each.

I just feel that there are so many people out there struggling out there.
Life's definitely alot tougher for them than for us.
So what right, just what right does people like us who have health,home,family to complain that life is a kingdom of depression.

Maybe I don't know enough but what do they know more than me if they are constant whiners?
I even think that they are alot more fortunate than me.
They have the money to study without worries.
Their parents perhaps dont have to slog all their lives like mine do.
And there they are telling the world about how stress they are at studies,how love sucks and how life sucks.

It's ok.
It's really okay to complain once in a while afterall no one's life is a bed of roses in any definition.
I know I,myself is a top grade complainer about my life.
I envied alot of my friends cos' I just know that they owed alot more in life that I am never ever given the chance to even taste.
I do have my lapse of "depression" but then I am always aware that sunny,cloudy,dark,windy days are just repeatitive cycles of our lives and I will always stand on my own feet,count on it!

That's why people know that I am strong,independent.
Like hell I am but I know that I have to be.
That is but one of the only way to pay back the life you are given,isnt it so?

The past few entries are all about me blahing how great I think I am.
And you can blahed those off.

Cos' I really wish that I have more and given more.
But if I know..some are lucky,some just have to knock their own opportunities.
I would have dig for more diamonds if I havent learnt that the load on me is heavy.

So I am just learning to be grateful.
For I am among those who can appreciate the rainbow better after the storm and those who can perhaps survive through the storm no matter how battered I am.

At the very least I do self reckon that I am much better than those group of people I mentioned.

I do not wish them well.

I would rather wish the poor souls who struggled to survive well.

And now I wondered when can I ever come out with a decent entry that's worth some big notes.
