The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins - 1886 - Ernest Karlovich Lipgart
And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh. Go ye forth to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out.
The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves.

Depression and anxiety are a symptom of too much consumption and too little creation.
If this is the case, and there's not much room for doubt, we must take action.
And this means to create ceaselessly.
Which requires effort.
And it makes you tired.
And it hurts.
The only way out is through.
In a way, the choice is between feeling pain and feeling bad afterwards or feeling pain and feeling good afterwards.
In my mind, the choice is clear.
It is now a matter of putting it to action.

At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus, calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them. And said: amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
