Order. Discipline. Brotherhood. Greatness.

I am one of millions who live with persistent depressive disorder. It always seems worst around Advent and Lent…..

I am always relieved when the end of Lent arrives. Not because I found the giving things up part difficult. For the depressed person, giving things up is relatively easy. Neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky, the author of Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers, once defined depression as a disorder “whose characteristic manifestation is an inability to appreciate sunsets.”
