The Lantern

Stress has become a commercialized cliché, often linked to anxiety and depression. This creates a false belief that negative emotions are normal and happiness is out of reach. Many people face intense emotions that disrupt their daily lives. These feelings are often misunderstood and suppressed, leading to a silent struggle. This struggle is made worse by ignorance and stigma. Emotions can stem from chemical imbalances and misinformation, not just personal failings.

To address these issues, two approaches are important:
one that includes a spiritual perspective and one that does not. Instead of dismissing either approach, a balanced strategy that integrates both is crucial. Understanding the root causes of these emotions can help dispel misconceptions and offer a more compassionate path to healing.
