[quote]Just think of it.  The brain. Millions of cell created to help the body function, to learn, to rationalize. Einstein, Di Vinci, Hawkings.  Allah created a near perfect biological computer.  A child starts out with this organ at the top of their body that can do wonderous great things along with dastardly vile deeds.  You, me, others in this forum, growing up a reasonably normal way with reasonably careing and attentive parents, we can overcome bouts of depression.  Besides faith, we have copeing skills along with a reasonably undamaged brain to guide us through depression.  No new brain cells are generated after late teens; by the time we reached 20 we had all the brain cells we are ever going to have.  In the late 40s these cells start dying.  Either because of  age, lack of use or additives that we introduce into our bodies.

A child does not comprehend this biological fact.

So, child grows up lacking enough food, little to no nurturing from the parents, physical abuse, gasoline gets sniffed to get high, weed gets smoked to escape, beer and liquor gets consumed.  Through each act some brain cells die until there comes a point in time when this child becomes an adult and embraces Allah with all their might only to find that they have not enough brain cells left to reason their way out of depression.   (No, I am NOT talking about me.)

How do you know the good times if you don't have the bad?  How do you know something is sweet if you don't taste sour? We, you and I, know that depression will soon pass.  But there are those who don't have enough "little grey cells" to beleive that.[/quote]
