[ WP ] You realize depression is the natural state because dying is so good for us , the non-depressed people are sick .

Grey. Everything was grey. That was the only way to describe it. Fruit, music, love making; all of it grey. It was n't until I pulled the trigger that I was able to see the colors. 
 
 `` You did better than most of the other.'' A gentle but strong male voice spoke behind me. 
 
 I turned around to be greeted by a tall figure draped in a purple robe. The fabric was n't one I could place, unlike anything I remember seeing before, and it shimmered the way stars did on a clear summer night. The man, or what I assumed was a man as I could not his or it's face, moved towards me. The robe swayed with ease off of the pair of broad shoulders. 
 
 `` What do you mean'better?'' I asked in confusion. 
 
 The sleeves of the robe, covering the entire length of the arm's and hand's of the figure pointed past my shoulder. I turned slowly to see behind me. With a gasp I stepped back realizing that I was standing at the end of a cliff. 
 
 Looking out over the edge I could see a massive sea of grey. It was like looking out into a giant ocean of the darkest thunderstorm clouds as waves of them crashed against each other. Then I noticed them; the specks. 
 
 Squinting my eyes smaller details became obvious to me. The tiny figures among the bleak waves were human figures. Swimming amongst the ominous waves they were struggling to find direction; calling out for help. 
 
 `` What....what is this?'' My question stammered as I turned back to the figure. 
 
 `` They are struggling to find the afterlife. Unlike you, they can not navigate the darkness so easily.'' His powerful but soft voice informed me. 
 
 `` But I....I did n't even think I would get here....after what I did.'' My reply was shaky as I fought back tears that I did n't understand the origin of. 
 
 `` You see, my friend, that you lived a life in the darkness. In that world it is considered a sickness to live with the condition you had. In reality, they were the ones who were sick. Since the fall of man the world below became a dark, bleak place. The demons have been tricking your kind since. You've been living in a world of reality while everyone else has been spoofed by a spiritual hallucinogenic.'' He spoke in such a way that his words found residence in my very soul. 
 
 `` They now have to journey through the Path of Souls in order to reach here. Because their existence was spent in a world of lies, they are battling to make sense of the dark reality. You spent three decades in the world below thinking you were suffering but in reality you just were able to see the world as it was. Because of that you had no trouble finding your way here.'' Each word found a way to calm me more and more. 
 
 `` What now?'' I asked the figure. 
 
 `` Now, now you get to see the reality of the World Above.'' He spoke and stepped to my side at the same moment. 
 
 As he stepped to the side I had to shield my eyes. For the first time I could see colors and they vibrated in a way that shook my being. There were colors I could n't describe as I had to grasp the arm of the figure in order not to collapse. Before I knew what was happening my face was wet. Tears began falling from my eyes in a stream. My heart, my spirit, my being was pulsing. 
 
 `` What is happening to me?'' I just managed to get out of my mouth. 
 
 I could feel a pat on my head as I heard him say, `` For the first time you're feeling joy.''
