Geez,
How is suiside a rational choice? How many people are born on this planet that never get to enjoy anything this life has to offer? Personally I did not know this person, but I can understand his feelings for I became an Above knee amputee in the middle of my life. I also lost someone very close to me at the same time, which compounded my problem I am sure. Would not his energy have been better spent on working towards a better solution? Than just living in selfpity and then taking his own life. Moreover, depending on his beliefs, suicide will not earn you your wings in the next plane of exsistance, but rather a very warm place to spead eternity and think about your selfish act. I have had those thoughts myself from time to time, but thanks to my will to," Just keep swimming", I have been able to stave off those waves of depression and put my energy towards getting and education. My goal is to become very involved in the prosthetic field and try and change the attitudes and misconceptions towards people with limb loss. I may never come up with any better ideas, but trying to is better than giving up and self destructing. No one is guaranteed anything in life, we all have to work towards some goal. Yes, some seem to have things easier than others, but everything has a price. I am saddened by this loss of a persons life. I hope all who have to deal with depression can find something worth going on for, no matter how small it may be. Life is worth living, no matter what shape your earthly package is in, but sometimes it is hard to see why.
Just Keep Trying,
Gerald L. Gregory Jr.
