Suicide. You hear about it... the neighbor you never really knew, the friend of a friend, a co-worker in another department. But you never expect it to be someone you knew personally. Do you know that pit -- that black hole someplace inside of you -- that forms when you hear about someone you thought highly of committing suicide? If you haven't had someone you knew commit suicide, I really hope in all sincerity that you never find out. It sucks. I feel worse about hearing about a lady I knew 7 years ago -- when I was going to college fresh out of high school at UW-River Falls -- who shot herself from a case of depression than I did about someone -- who I went to meeting with for about 10 years -- who died within several months after finding out he had cancer. Words really cannot explain the black hole that sucks up ______ (I cannot think of anything to accurately describe the feeling). It really does change one's perspective on suicide matters. A very hard subject to face and come to terms with. andy

doesn't it depend on your point of view?
suppose your life is really just a bowl of crap? What is the point of staying alive if it is not a good time?
maybe it's not great for people left behind but... they are still alive. --------------------------------------------------------- Through early morning fog I see Visions of the things to be The pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see That suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play I'm Gonna to lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay So this is all I have to say Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will peirce our skin It doesnt hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger watch it grin Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please
A brave man once requested me To answere questions that are key Is it to be or not to be And i replied oh why ask me That suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please And you can do the same thing if you please

I agree that for the people who commit suicide, there's some really big reason why dying is a much better option than living. I was just merely stating that for the living, it can be hard to cope with at times. It is such a different concept from what people generally view, the concept of living and enjoying life. In the case of my previous post, the person had been depressed for quite some time, obviously severely so. andy
