A bit pessimistic yet heartwarming from the honest struggle with issues of life and death proportions. To live or not to live that is still the question. A rich river of realism! Well done my friend!
There is a song Suicide is Painless which, for a while was my song, and Death was my best (only) friend. Is suicide painless, once you are gone is any pain left behind? For a while living was a great deal of pain, and I was pretty sure that I would not be leaving any pain for anyone behind if I joined my best friend. No one can understand anyone else's pain. Should the ultimate choice be used to end that pain? Should that choice be considered if it means leaving others in pain once yours is gone? Unfortunately too many people face these questions. I am very glad today that I did not make the ultimate choice and hope it will be many years before I meet my old friend. I am glad you did too Bri. :)
