First of all respect for the people who got to roam this site. I myself did it for more than one year. Sometimes I tried giving advices, yet it s hard to interfere with other people s thoughts, so for the most time I refrained from doing so. I can say I succeeded to prolong someone s life here, with one week. Yes only one week. I cried when that person gave up. I cried as much as when I lost my mother. Our lives cannot be lived in reverse and unfortunately many people are going backwards instead of moving forward. It is the mind that dictates us doing so. I wish I could give great advices and change something, unfortunately I can’t change much, I m aware of it. Mind is a complex ‘thing’. It goes down to everyone’s personal thoughts and deeds. We make mistakes throughout our lives and we also suffer the consequences of other people’s, very often, the wrong deeds. There are good people in our world and there are evil ones. Here is my message to the world. Message to the world

Abstract thought, if in that one extra week on the earth that individual experienced love and compassion that had been missing from their life before, I would say your efforts were very successful. After all we can not change peoples minds, nor would we want to do that for them. But we are here to show them love and compassion along their journey no matter any choice they deem to be best suited for their situation.
I agree with OnlyLOVEisReal. It’s nicer to be shown that someone out there cares for you (even if it’s over the internet through crappy comments by strangers) than to die feeling like you were nothing and meant nothing to others or the world. Can you put a price on easing someone’s pain even for a second?
Sure, if I tried to help someone or even knew someone or knew of someone who took their life or just died from natural causes, I’d be sad too – a wreck even. Death is sad, but sometimes it’s what we ‘need’, other times are what we call ‘too soon’. I think what hits us about the loss of a person are the memories shared, the helplessness we feel and the helplessness they felt in their situation.
The sad fact is that not everyone can cope. When someone dies you grieve, but I do not believe any person is so selfish that they’d want others to cry over their life forever – they’d want you to move on and be happy or at least happier than them.
I don t know but often I feel like I only prolonged that person’s agonies. What is one week compared to an entire life?
Abstract Thought, I often confuse myself with that same thought. But to read the last emails, the ones that are sent seconds before they transition. To be the last person on this world they address and thank for being there. Well, no matter how bitter sweet it is, we have to know in the truth it made a difference. I know we all can’t be here for everyone. But if everyone was there for at least a couple people there would be much less pain on this earth. Are we too late? Are we just in time? Can we pay attention long enough to read the stiches on a fast ball and prevent sorrow from turning into depression and ending in suicide? We all have a responsibility to do our best for our brothers and sisters. Sometimes our best is not enough. That is hard…real hard.
@Onlyloveisreal They say ‘Never It’s too late’. I would say that there is a point in our life when everything is too late. We come into this world by coincidence and we depart naturally, by choice, by coincidence or hatred. We still have options… We often have the ball called destiny in our hands. We should act when it s not too late.
Maybe too late in our own life, But what about others? What about those born to us or burn to others? If we can make a positive difference in the lives of the parents could that play a positive role in the children brought up by those parents?
For some of us it’s not too late… and then we can act.
“I don t know but often I feel like I only prolonged that person’s agonies. What is one week compared to an entire life?” Exactly! What is one more week compared to rest of the life they’ve lived? Making someone endure for another week is hardly anything in comparison to what they’ve already been through. However in that one week if you’re able to make that person feel ‘good’ or ‘better’ to some degree isn’t that worth it? It may be the first week in years that they feel understood or feel compassion – and that itself is a gift in my opinion.
In that one week you have the chance to reach out and try and make a difference to that person’s life. Sometimes they are too far gone or will not listen. But as they say, to win the lotto, you must by the ticket and play. If you don’t reach out, say they have 5% of chance of staying and enduring, but after you reach out they have 10%.
You can’t but help think that they’re getting better when this happens. However things never stay good and if they can’t tolerate the fall after the highs, then they will get pushed back to square one or even further back than that. But that said, if you can do that, you’re probably that 1 person that they didn’t have and yet needed in their life the entire time.
