The Last Tango
Suicide must be the worse sin you can commit for it leaves you without the opportunity to regret. Not a nice topic, but it happens all the time; as it just happened in my neighborhood.
It also is the worse crime one can commit; a coldblooded, premeditated murder while deliberately leaving enough clues around to be convicted in a court of law. Sometimes even leaving a written confession, before absconding to avoid standing trial. Well, at least in this world anyway.
A deed planned in detail and executed to perfection. Premeditated! Punishable by death in many countries.
But is this the coward’s way out? I don’t think so. It takes guts to execute; a kind of guts I don’t think I possess. Or total insanity.
I cannot even try to imagine what must go through the mind of the person when he takes that final step that pushes him beyond that point of no return. You should have spoken, Jimmy. There is always hope.

I guess I'm a coward too...I can only drink till I can no longer walk straight but can never take my own life
I'm not the morbid type, so I have never felt that way, but yes, while there is life there is hope.
I don't think it is a coward who takes his own life. It takes guts to kill yourself. I think temporary insanity may be a big factor.
When I was about 13, one of our neighbor jumped off the 11th floor of a nearby building. But he was always a bit 'funny'. A good guy with a good job but he served in WWII and was said to be shell shocked.
Yes, temporary insanity could be the main thing. I would never understand how they feel but my heart goes out for them
Yep, that can almost be a valid excuse. Pain can drive one crazy.
Btw. Did you notice that I borrowed the core of this blog from an old blog? One that caused me a lot of trouble when that troll was still alive.
I believe that the brain 'cuts off' at some stage to enable such action. Self-preservation is too deeply rooted into our instincts.
I'm just thankful that I'm crazy enough to keep going when the going gets rough
I noticed your spelling going to the dogs Lately. Are you texting at all?
I don't think it is somebody you know and I have no detail yet. I can just hope that the wife discovered her husband before one of the children found their father.
From where I sit here upstairs I have a clear view on the house. Some of the family has arrived and the morgue collected the body just before before it started getting dark.
That is what they say; when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
I find it a bit ironic at the moment, considering my blog above
That happened in 2000. But the drug (I forgot the name) is prescribed against depression. Should it not prevent such thoughts?
I'm sure you will overcome it. Just grab the bull by the horns one day.
I'm not into medicine at all, so I pay very little attention to it but I think that was it, yes.
It was weird. She shot my brother in the stomach and went to bed. The neighbors called the police after the shot and they found her sleeping.
Yes, there is always hope. Without hope, we would have been nowhere.
Hmm, I believe being a doctor in the USA can me a tough time. Malpractice suits are lurking around every corner.
Sorry to hear this news.
It is not somebody that I have known very well. I have not been living here for that long. It just seemed strange. I still spoke to him yesterday and there was no indication that he had such plans.
Thanks for dropping in.
I prefer still pictures. They make less noise.
that particular drug (can't think of the name, available worldwide) you carry on smoking while you're taking it, however you are supposed to find you smoke less and less and give up out of sheer lack of interest. AND you lose weight. I knew it was too good to be true.
That is true!
Also! Killings someone else/ people! Is worse too! ( If it's not in Self-defense) To saving their own life.
Sorry! That this happened to that person/ and your neighbor/ neighborhood.....
