Why?
The first two years of early childhood development, will see children bumping and hurting themselves, and these experiences will naturally teach children to seek to avoid things that harm or cause pain to themselves.
Children will naturally preprogrammed their brains cognitive chemical processes and neurologic networks, to work on brain cognitive thoughts, that are geared towards preserving their life, by avoiding pain and harm.
This is why children, teens and adults will keep on asking these questions, for they have already preprogrammed their brains to do so.
Depression is only you believing that you can’t fulfill your natural preprogrammed “Dreams, Hopes and Wish”.
People take cell phone “Selfies”, because that is who they are trying to be, yet they have already achieved the present picture of being “I am”.
Unfortunately, so many children, teens and adults, then stop with taking the actions and work required to achieve their “Dreams, Hopes as Wishes”, and let their brain chemicals produce sadness, despair and hopelessness”.
It’s easy: Get to know the common traits and habits of the human mind, and take actions towards your Dreams, Hopes and Visions.
