Another late night, on my end, and something crossed my mine. I wanted to say something:
We all know death is the end for something, no matter what it is. All life ends and that's a fact, but sometimes people die before their time, whether it be car crashes, cancer, drowning, being stepped on, swatted away, or being lit on fire and left to burn; all of those things end lthe life of a living thing. Sometimes, though, a person often ends their own life prematurely. "Suicide"
The reason I'm talking about this, is because sometimes people get stuck in a rut, in one way or another and they feel like they can't get out and unless you know, you've been told, or you suspect they're like this, it's hard to know or hard to tell. Especially on the internet. Sometimes they try to reach out for help. And, sometimes, they're ignored, pushed aside, or shut out and that can affect them in more than a helpful way.
But, then what? What happens after you've learned they've killed themselves? Do you take time to talk about a funny or caring memory you have of them, remember the good times and share that with another person the both of you know or post something sincere and caring about them on their facebook page?
I know this seems a bit harsh and mean, what I've just written, but don't wait until after someone commits suicide to say something nice, sweet, sincere, or caring about them. Say it to them now, hell, say that to anyone you care about. Tell them something nice or sincere or sweet or caring every once-in-a-while, because once they're dead it's too late.
