Everything, Nothing

A friend of mine threw a rope over a branch of a tree, put that rope around his neck and jumped from a chair. He was found hanging there many, many hours later, blue and stiff.

C ya S.

Who can blame him, in the world that we live in? Checkin' out must have a certain appeal. It's a tough world out there, after all, as the news services keep drumin' into us, night after night. Society is an evil and a dangerous place. After dark, the CBD is full of gangs and drug dealers and drunks and thieves, and you're sure to die if you head there after midnight.

Or so the people with a vested interest would have us believe. News channels chasing ratings?  Conservative political parties chasing votes 

But, it got me thinking...

If you come one step back from suicide, what do you have? You have everything... because one step further and you have nothing.

Everything, nothing, in one kick of the chair. Just one step.

So, we have to get to them while they still have something. We have to give them the belief they still have something.
