Your soul is in two worlds at once

It is difficult to have a soul that resides both in the physical and the spiritual world at the same time. The part of the soul that lives in the physical world tends to get caught up in the trivialities of the physical world. We sometimes begin to lose perspective of the deeper more important aspects of the soul that tend to reside in the more spiritual part of the soul. Sometimes it takes tragedies in our worldly life to make us aware of the more important aspects of life like gratitude, compassion, and kindness. Grief and depression are longing for a part of the soul we feel is lost for ever. A longing for something we cannot have again. Maybe it is not gone for ever but just hidden in a deeper part of the soul and the tragedies in life that cause grief and depression are offering clues on how to recover the joy that we feel is lost forever.
