Yes, I'm happy to say.

Sad to say.  But every day, Thousands of people. Around the world. Can no longer face their ‘realities.’ So they opt for suicide.  Maybe they’re refugees. Who have run out of hope. Or they have dreadful and painful illnesses. Or perhaps they have committed shameful acts/crimes. They can no longer face and endure the realities of life. So, presto. They stop living. Taking their own lives. Who’s to blame?  Should it be the individual? Or can we put some of the onus on society.  For not intervening.  For not coming to the rescue of others. Just leaving it go. By ignoring reality. And getting on with the rest of our lives.  Until meeting our own inevitable deaths. From natural causes. As for me. I don’t want to leave. Voluntarily. Best to stick around. And search for reasons. To keep falling in love. With life. Yes, I’m happy to say. --Jim Broede
