Also intriguing was Beyond Blue reader Mary’s comment back on my post “Mother Teresa: My Saint of Darkness and Hope“:

I remember once reading in an article that said that people who are depressed have a more realistic picture of the world than those who don’t suffer depression. For some reason, those who don’t suffer from depression have a filter or a system that helps them not take in all of the stuff of the world and themselves and let it get them down. I always remembered that because I believe that is so true and that there is more than enough in the world to be depressed about. I pray that this too shall pass for you and all who suffer from the debilitation of depression
