The wise and courageous.

Maybe some people don’t want to be helped. I’ve known suicidal people. Who truly didn’t want to live any more. They were tired of life. And looked at death as the most coveted and viable option. Who’s to say they made the wrong decision? In taking their own lives. They took charge. They made a choice. Perhaps a very thoughtful one. And deserve credit. For taking their life and death. Into their own hands. My father might have been such. In that sense, perhaps he deserves hero status. Of course, that’s not a popularly accepted premise.  Suicides are looked upon as sick people. In need of therapy and counseling and perhaps confinement in a mental institution. Think about it. Maybe many of ’em should be called wise and courageous. –Jim Broede
