To explain this feeling, a parable is given in the scriptures* that three travelers were going somewhere. Seeing terrible thieves in the middle, one of the three ran away. The second was afraid of those thieves and did not move, but was caught by them. The third, however, defeated those thieves with extraordinary strength and skill and moved forward. The parable can give a little idea of the victory and defeat that occurs in fighting spiritual battles with mental disorders.
*
Three men, together with their families, were traveling. When they saw thieves, one of them immediately ran away.
The second one was afraid and did not move, so he was caught.
The third one, however, was strong and skillful, so he defeated the thieves and continued on his journey.
This parable shows that in the battle against mental disorders, there are both victories and defeats.
