I feel very strongly that pain and sadness are a necessary part of life. All of life is conflict: good/bad, male/female, light/dark, yin/yang. Can't have one without the other.
It has to be in balance though. For us the dark aspects take over and subdue the light. I don't feel I have to make my depression go away, I feel I have to bring it back into balance. That has been my goal all through this.
