Introspect the suicidal

Hey all..now i am back with a nice , reformatted and faster laptop!
So i am hoping my posts and thoughts can match the speed of the laptop...Well since I use Windows..probably i will beat it in about a week. But considering my past record I just hope I dont lose desperately.

An interesting piece of news that I came across. The officials governing the golden gate bridge in San Fransisco are intending to place a suicide net under the bridge. Yes my buddies you heard me right. Its a SUICIDE NET. Apparently the average number of suicides from Golden gate bridge is 20/year. Nearly 2 people a month!! Did you know every sucide affects atleast 6 persons personally. Usually suicides are associated with a lot of drama either in "the method of getting it done" or "location of implementation".

I guess the people who didn't make history while alive wanted to be a part of it at death. OK i know its a mean thing to say. But suicide is not something i endorse, I dont think anyone does. OK lets take one step behind...I said "I guess the people who didn't make history while alive wanted to be a part of it at death" I don't think any of us here have really been part of any greatness. At least most of the blogging community...Else why would we be on cyber space shouting our hearts out and clamouring for attention !! Its embarrassing, but its the truth..accept it people.

Taking another step back, as it appears that i have moved in the other direction, again.Coming to suicide. I don't want to do a big analysis on it. There are millions of webpages which can give us that information , from experts rather than me. But having spoken personally to a couple of people who were 'suicidal'.. I can tell one thing. They have such low levels of confidence in themselves and those around that you would move from the state of feeling sorry for them to being angry at them that they are unable to pick themselves up...even with the help and support of people around them.

There is so much to live for...I don't say 'there is so much to achieve'. Achievement is relative. If i drive my car alone for 20 miles that is a big achievement for me while it is everyday routine for another. So lets just try to bring a smile in the face of the person next to us and this will bring one in ours. As the smiles multiply , the happiness grows around you and there is nothing to feel sorry about..Let alone to even remotely think of suicide.

This line was added when i went through what i had written in the post. It just doesn't stick to one topic..Digresses from the actual intent of the post and doesn't really make a lot of sense. Just like me. Thanks for sticking till the end of this way-too-long post.
