In the following video a woman falsely believed that there was no way for her to live a completely happy life. As a result she eventually attempted suicide.
Her suffering developed while being raised in a broken home. In the video she proceeded to give some very keen psychological insight, explaining how she developed a sense of rejection as a child because she didn't fully understand the divorce of her parents. From this she turned in on herself in isolation, feeling that she was a burden to others. In her isolation she became so self-conscious and insecure that she tended to exaggerate and distort harmless comments made to her by others throughout childhood. She focused on this negativity to such an extreme that she felt the only solution was to end her life. As a result, she entered into a mystical darkness from which only Christ the Savior was able to pull her out.
In the Readings today Christ says that those who believe in Him do not remain in darkness. The thought that we can never be happy in life removes us from God's light and peace. Only Christ can ultimately fill us with happiness and joy.
God does not reject us, far from it. He always forgives and accepts us. We are also not a "burden" on others. God created us to be loved, to love others in return and to live in community not isolation. A life of faith should always be filled with hope, kind words, uplifting messages and happiness, there is never any reason to be negative and insecure. Christ desires that we live life to the fullest.
A good way to experience this joy is to join a Christian community at a parish or church. In this way we will obtain the love and support we need, while being strengthened to love and support others in return, all through God's grace.
Fortunately for the woman she found salvation and joy in Christ through some very mysterious circumstances prompting her to always praise God on earth and in eternity!
