Suicide

This is a note to all those contemplating suicide. Amongst the Eskimos of old those who had become old and in the way would on some storm driven night just walk off into the snow. If you are young and contemplating suicide you have a great gift to give to the world. Obviously your world has become a burden: it seems to you that there is nothing to live for and it makes a certain kind of sense to just put an end to it all. If you have come to that point of futility in self effort then you are the perfect candidate to help make the world a better place. Your very loss of self interest means that you are in a position to devote yourself to helping those who can not help themselves. You have lost what you think you have to lose so why not do what you can for those for whom a little help is a lot. It cost you nothing (except the burden of existence), and the weight of the good you can do significantly out weighs the weight of self destruction.

Your loss of hope can make of you an emissary of hope for others by the very fact that you have nothing to lose and yourself to give.

Give it some thought.
