The depressive ones usually happen repeatedly with the same stone

No person is forced to get depressed. And nevertheless, there are cyclical depressive ones, which not well have gone out of a depression when it is already possible to predict that they will fall down in other one. It is like stumbling repeatedly over the same stone or time falls down after time in the same hole. But, the fault has neither the stone nor the hole but the one that does not take the measures to not have an accident again.

Let's take the case of Santiago. All his depressive episodes are tied to economic situations. Anyone that should not know it might think that before his current economic situation, even the strongest would get depressed. It has come to the point of owing to every saint a mass, and they have suspended the electrical service, the water, the medical insurance; the creditors go out for him even in the soup. It has to to the bank, the account of the car, the hospitable services, and to all the friends, acquaintances and strangers that it took dragged in his fall. Now it is depressed, driven to despair. It has exhausted all the resources that in other occasions stretched the hand. This time is more only, further down and more desesperanzado that never.

But the real cause of his depression is not his economic misfortune but the whole record of administrative irresponsibility, of economic entanglements, of nonperformances and of giving him good life in the moment without thinking about the future. The years have happened and he has not learned the lesson. He always bet on himself, to the detriment of the others. But this time is devastadamente lost. Now the good life, the good cars, the good house, the good table of the thin restaurants, have a bitter flavor in his memories. He feels guilty, and he is right.

The worst thing of everything is that it has trumped God after having overcome the previous crises. Now, he does not feel even that neither to deserve cannot even expect anything from God. Surely it is wrong. Possibly, God in his infinite love and compassion, is taking it to his limits, until it raises his face to God or prostrates itself before him, and there confesses penitent who has not learned yet the lesson. Santiago has always fallen down in the same pitfalls as the same one it armed itself. And these conduct bosses for gratifying that seem to the moment, in the fund are sinful. And there the fact is that the detail is. Quite conduct and sinful boss of conduct, constitute an affront God. And when it comes the hour of the truth it is necessary to realize that when everything is finished, when everything happens, when we remain alone, the only thing that we have left in God.

But this one is most blessed of the solitudes, of the despairs, of the defeats and the powerlessness. Sometimes it is the only way of realizing that although we have left him, He remains faithful because He cannot refuse to himself. Then, and only then, all our losses begin to turn into profit. Pablo said, that the moment came in his life in which he had to consider it to be everything like loss because of the excellence of Christ's knowledge.

Only this Christ's knowledge is the one that makes say to apostle San Pablo: "But we have this treasure in mud glasses, so that the excellence of the power belongs to God, and not to us, that we are anxious in everything, more for not distressed; in difficulty, more not desperadoes; chased, more not abandoned; knocked down, but not destroyed; always taking in the body throughout Jesus's death, so that also Jesus's life is evident in our mortal meat.” – 2 Corinthian ones 4:7-11.
