I was watching a documentary about a web site called ASH... dunno what the acronym stands for... but it was a website where people with mental health problems that have pushed them to the verge of suicide go to compare notes on the methods and results and possible bad outcomes of attempting suicide... it was really rather depressing.... with interviews with people who are seriously sad... in one aspect when you see how these people are living it sort of makes you appreciate your own miserable circumstances... the other side of the proverbial coin lying in the shit... is hey keep these people away from me... I don't see how I can help them and listening to them talk in depressed monotone about their misery is not helping me either... however one young lady made a comment that I really indentified with... After the litany of her troubles and recounting the three or four times she had attempted hari kari... she was asked whether she was now "comfortable with life"... she said... "... I am never comfortable with life... but I have periods where I'm tolerant of it... "
Right on baby...
