Thinking of those million of Pakistanis,sitting in water,wondering where their next meal is coming from,probably feeling a bit hopeless.

You have to wonder what it is all about.

Sad but true, and like the old age truck, you never see it coming.

You've got to feel for sombody who had so many riches but was unable to see past yesterday.

All true of course,but you have to wonder at the comparitive positions and where our heads are today.

I think the youth of today seem unable to cope as well as we used too.

Its because its all about me...me...me! Shame we cant teach our children unselfishness nowadays, but appears to be impossible in so many cases

Nicely put, Billy. Like Cicero's friend, I've been to a very dark place, too. Your thinking is not what it usually is. It's not a matter of feeling down, feeling sorry for yourself or that the future holds no promise; you can't recognise those feelings as the product of a diseased mind. But unlike that tragic young guy, I was able to get some help to climb out of that trough.

Suicide is a terrible business.
However, you make an interesting point about the flood victims.
Perhaps they are too busy merely surviving to think about alternatives.

1129788 2010-08-20 05:50:00 I've been there, too. It's not about selfishness, it's an utter disrespect for the importance your own existence. When I was close, I thought that I'd be doing those around me a favour.

Anyone who's never been there can hold their tongue. It's very hard to understand if you haven't been through it. The only way I can explain it is if you were to imagine the person you hate most in the entire world, where if they were to walk into the room you'd just up and leave. Everything they say is toxic and stupid. Imagine that person is you.

I'm not saying it makes any sense to take your life. It doesn't. Just that the steps leading up that path make it hard to see your life for what it is.

My sympathy to you, Cicero and your friend's family. They must be going through hell right now.

Don't know that depression had an age. I apparently had an aunt that did the same thing way back in the 40's.

Sad for those left behind.
