I'm often reminded of a story I was told by a guy who for a long time just didn't understand his wife's depression. "Your life is great! Why can't you just be happy?" he would say to her. "Well, why can't you just be taller?" she asked him. Then he understood: it wasn't something she was doing, just something she was.
