Such a funny cartoon with a painful twist. Can a normal job be so painful that it kills your spirit?
I love the following line from the cartoon, they are quite beautiful:
What pain can it be that the grave seems the only place where you will find final rest (thus you dream of the grave). What kind of darkness can leave you feeling alone and unloved on a sunny afternoon with flowers blooming around you. The feeling of complete and utter failure.Darkness fills my days... I dream of the grave.
A Pain-killer
Again and again our attention is drawn to the fact that there is so much pain in the world. What we don't realise is that pain is the only constant. An orphaned child in Africa feels pain as does someone in America who has been cheated by the love of their life.People have started keeping pain to themselves. That is why psychiatrists are doing so well.
People just don't have the strength or willingness to talk it out. Many people don't even have anyone to listen to them. Everyone has their own problems. Everyone is busy. Why should they lend an ear to someone else's problems?
This is what I think is wrong in today's world. We should always be ready to listen to people no matter how irritated, frustrated or busy we ourselves are.
- Nothing compares to the feeling of happiness and release you get when you talk to someone about your problem.
- Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you provide this feeling to someone.

I feel its not simply failure but failure accompanied with a loss of all hope, a belief that things would never set right however hard one may try, which leads people to dream of the grave.
You are right, indeed whichever country or economic strata that we might belong to, we are all alike because we all at some point of time in our lives have suffered losses.
There is truly no substitute for a friendly ear. Mostly when troubled all we want is someone to hear us out or in Munnabhai style someone to give us a jaadu ki jhappi. :)
Knowing that one is wanted and cared for will provide the necessary boost to lift up sagging spirits.
That's where we people come in... to make the other person realise.. there is always hope.
Remember:
Sometimes you can't see the light unless your surrounded by darkness ;)
