TED - Andrew Solomon

I felt a funeral in my brain,

and mourners to and fro kept treading,

treading till felt that sense was breaking through.

I think that while I hated being depressed and would hate to be depressed again,

I've found a way to love my depression.

I love it because it has forced me to find and cling to joy.

I love it because each day I decide, sometimes gamely,

and sometimes against the moment's reason, to cleave to the reasons for living.

And that, I think, is a highly privileged rapture.
