But as a Christian, people think about Jesus mostly about the physical pain but can you imagine the mental torment that went through his mind and he could have jumped down any time so he understands the tormented.
So if anyone reads this think what Jesus did and what you've been through and he knows so for Gods sake take that extra step.Instead of picking up a gun pick up a phone. Just one more step.
And as I respect others views like Atheism, I can't understand some of the vehemance of a few on my peaceful views. Look what Jesus did for me and was about.Life and love."Love thy neighbor as THYSELF."Love yourselves my friends. Oh, get off my soapbox. Good song.
Hate to bring the party down but when I see a wedge guess what?LOL
You'd be surprised . It's so prevalent in our society [ as humans ] .
Back when I had a moving company around 1987 or 1988 , I did this moving job for this lady . Her name was Ann[e] Baumbrind . She is the person who got the handicapped laws in place at the Federal level . You know , handicapped parking spots , the easy access doors , all that stuff . She was the one . Well in conversing with her [ i left out , she was in a wheel chair ],I found out that she had considered suicide as a way out . This was in Queens NY . The Boro President , Donald Mannis had just blown his head off and she idolized him . She thought it was a very noble way to go out . Well I did have a talk with her about that . And everytime I'd have to go out to Long Island , I could see her house , with that ramp for her wheel chair . And I always felt good , because it meant she was still alive . So , I want to thank you all for your input on this nasty subject and for allowing me to add to it . Thank You All .
Thanks rdy.Although many of us haven't met,and probably never will,you still have a friend here.
I try to keep my personal religious views out of my post,but my God is one that understands me,and something or someone i can talk to when i'm down.I don't understand at all,but i know it works.That is good enough for me.
I don't mean for this this to be a religious post,and i respect anyones beliefs(as long as it peaceful and has a sense of brotherly love),even my atheist friends.

Thanks for Sharing.It's been in the closet for so long.It touches more lives than people think. Remember Simon and Garfunkels song "Richard Cory."
"I wish that I could be Richard Cory......."
"So my mind was filled with wonder,
when the evening headlines read.
Richard Cory went home last night
and put a bullet in his head."
Sorry to bring the post down bad but a great post.
You didn't bring anything down rdy,in fact you brought the conversation up a notch.Thanks.
Thanks.I just try to generally keep an upbeat approach but if one person reads it and takes heed YEAH.
Thank you BoxMonkey.
You are welcome .

I wasn't clear enough. I was just using Jesus as a well known figure(real or fiction)who I used as an example.:)
Thats cool.
