I know probably no one will believe this, but this story of a girl who hung herself at age 17 and had a near death experience ( she was hanging for between 8-12 minutes) I found hopeful and encouraging for me personally. It made me think that maybe, just maybe no matter how much of a “nerd” people view me as, no matter what a useless failure I am to everyone, that maybe somehow someone could care for me and love me when no one else does. I just post the link here because maybe it might cheer someone else up who has no hope and thinks no one can care for them.

If the link doesn’t work you can just google “Indu Shanmugam South Asian Connection” or “Indu Shanmugam near death experience”. I just pass this along that it might make someone feel better or have a little hope like it did for me.

what about all the babies and kids that die from cancer and aids, i hate being skeptical on this subject because its a nice concept but man its certainly not fair or logical, and this assumes there’s no free will if he hasn’t ‘finished her book yet’
I’m glad you have hope.
Thank you so much. I know it’s tiny and flickering, but I grab onto it and try to hold on.
I know there can be so many valid objections to this, about why babies die of AIDS, how it really doesn’t seem fair or logical. It’s just something I cling to, a bit of warmth for me in the cold darkness, hoping that it is true, hoping that in the vastness of the universe somehow there is a fairness and logic to it that I can’t see from my tiny perspective. I guess I look for these kind of things and believe in them because I want it to be true, not because I understand it.
