One looks around and notices many spiritually sincere people whodon't look happy. In some cases their depression is self-inflicted; they feel that God condemns desire, therefore they punishthemselves for having needs, wants, wishes, and dreams. They try toachieve an emotional flatness that barely participates in the world. Other forms of spiritual depression exist because the personbelieves that God wants us to withdraw from life and all itsdisturbances.
