When you're depressed I found it helps to remind yourself the world is just complex.

This neutral view is 100% true from a logical standpoint, so don't worry about believing it, unless you do not understand it entirely. Firstly words only show you a piece of the truth in your mind, people rarely speak the whole truth or even think it. Each action has it's opposite and equal reaction but also action, and so life isn't bad, it's just complex. Try to look at this complexity and you will realize, the world is so complex that all the good and all the bad it entirely contradicts itself, and so life is "paradoxically" complex in that I would need a word like "good-bad" to express it.

When God leads you down a dark path, remember that you can't accurately predict some things that will happen 5 minutes from now. It all depends on what happens after those dark times, whether you get the rainbow after the rain. The dark ages set up the golden eras, in a sense. I wish you all well, good evening.

I find that when my life gets complex my depression kicks in. I try to keep things simple and travel light.

Oh usually it's the opposite for me, I have a hard time looking at the good side of the world but just believing the good side wouldn't be the truth. Disregard my advice entirely if you start to get confused or it's not making you more happy.
