In Reply to: OT...Thoughts about death posted by shoes on June 22, 2014 at 09:59:50:

Shoes,
Read your post with great interest. Going to let you in on a secret. Most people who has such thoughts never complete the action, why you ask? Well it's this simple, hastening ones death is a theft from those who love and cherish them.
I am in a boat along with others who are aged and in poor health,but still relish each day and every morning thank the Good Lord for another one, so that I may be here to help others.

I have witnessed an attempted suicide of a very young man. While visiting my aunt and uncle, there was a fellow who locked himself in the garage with the car running,and proceeded to cut his throat with a straight razor. His wife came home from shopping and found him,because the car was running and the garaged was closed, called an ambulance, and the man survived. Psychiatric help was unheard of at that time,except by being committed to an institution, so from his attempt, I guess he couldn't be left alone any longer.

You have free choice to go on living or end it,but don't you think for one moment that suicide lets you escape the problems or problem without some penalties that will apply in the here after. What you would be doing is casting a giant net of guilt over your family and friends, irregardless of what you feel your reasons to commit suicide.People are living day to day under the threat of death with cancer and other debilitating diseases. CHILDRENS HOSPITALS ARE FILLED WITH CANCER VICTIMS and their families are sending prayers for their healing.

Now my question is to you- If your physical health (not mental) is good,what makes you think you have the right to vacate this planet and leave others suffering for your ungrateful attitude? If you are sincere and have doubts you better get up off your azz, look in the mirror to see what you are intending to destroy,and seek help.
Who is to say your inner voice is not the evil trying to get you to do something bad just to chalk one more up in his win column?.
Having a high tolerance to pain is no reason to justify any form of self mutilation and destruction, wouldn't you like to be known for doing more good than evil,doing more helpful things than leaving behind others feeling guilt and sorrow thinking they caused you to choose this path? In all the world, humans are the only creature that sometimes chooses to commit suicide. It's a weakness and a flaw in ones character. To me it is the cowards way out, as I'm sure there are other people in this world who have worse problems and they deal with them every day every waking moment, so who am I to say I am worse off and do a dastardly deed and leave this world for a worse place. I am 79 years old and in bad health,but refuse to give in to what you describe. God has other plans for me,so until he sends the angels for me I will continue to try my best to create more good than evil,and help rather than hurt others around me.

Regards,
LOU

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
