Someone I knew took their own life on Friday. I didn’t know him well but that didn’t matter. I we have much in common, that much is sure. We are both human. Both valuable. Both equal. Like me, he had a family. He had colleagues and he had a life of some sort. I am not a judgemental person and I do not underestimate the state of mind he must have been in to commit such an act but there’s one thing thought that I can’t seem to shift. It’s that he must have had some serious inner strength, decisiveness and confidence to actually be able to go through with it. And so I cant help but think that he surely could have used all that strength and decisively…to live. Just to live another day. Life is the way, the hope and the life. Life is hope. Hope of what tomorrow might bring. I find myself confused, seeking answers and find myself on this site and I read the many many postings of people wanting to end their life. And I want to reach out to you all. Please. Please. Choose life!

I just don’t know anymore.
People are definitly not equal.
Your assumption sounds to be if the guy would have just “Applied himself” he would have a liveable life acceptable to him. Thats just not the reality “some” times.

I understand the point of this post of yours but really, you don’t know what you’re talking about. If you’ve never been there, never thought the thought, felt your feelings sway from one side of the spectrum to the other in an instant, then your opinion doesn’t hold much weight. We don’t all perceive life the same way; we’re not all equal.
