A reason to live

[Baraka Obam]

I have seen here at times people mentioning suicide.

There was one lately that even mention a 30 day moratorium until his demise.

Some people have learned all their life to beg for attention, they will beg for that attention in any way possible, for they feel the world can not go on without them.

I assure you, the world will turn even after we are all gone, maybe it will even turn faster, who knows.

Everyone here is just like a star, sooner or later we will burn out, in between we will have good energy days and bad energy days, some people will super nova, some will just burn out, even the star cannot control its destiny, but the star will never give up its power as long as its viable.

We should be more like stars, grasp at every moment of life you are given, it may not be as good as it was before but it is truly better than nothing, in the future you can change things, without a future, you have nothing at all.

I will tell you what I did when I was way out on a limb. way way out, instead of sitting all depressed one day I just hopped on my machine and zoomed out to a airport, the airport had sky diving, this was a tiny little bit extreme but it was just what the doctor would never order, LOL.

The lesson was not long, the money meant nothing, what really did I need it for, my life was in total ruin, first jump is always a tandem, so I had to wait for a tiny bit before I could go it alone.

This was very very easy to do, if your really not worried about dying you can jump out of a airplane. What do you think happens when you actually jump out of a perfectly good plane.

Euphoria, that is what happens, this one almost completely safe jump with a instructor tied to you, will set your reality back where it should be, there is a great reason to live, you will see you have just held yourself back from living.

If you have the money, sky diving can easily become a addiction, but if you only need a wakeup call sky diving can set you back on the I want to live highway.

I would highly suggest this treatment for cry baby alcoholics and drug abusers, the first jump is the beginning of a new outlook.

If you have time just take a ride out to an airfield that does have skydiving, its exciting and it is way safer than driving a motorcycle in traffic.

This disease can bash the strongest of people to their knees, in fact it sounds like the plague Jobe in the bible fought, it probably is the same.

Those of you crying for yourselves, stop, this situation seems to be a roller coaster ride on the outskirts of hell, still we have the ability to fight our way back, but fight we must. There is no easy answer, no magic pill, but what is your life worth, are you worth more or less than other people.

I put a high price on my life, even if I am tormented, for one thing I never lose, LOL, Maybe.

Do not expect your life to be worth more to anyone else than you, after all we have TV since the 1950s, and computer games, LOL, this is sad but true, do you imagine for a second that your children would be so sad if you died today that they would not play, the (kill and maim massive amounts of people for happiness game) right after coming home .

You have to be your own friend, you have to cry with you, conference with you, live, love and die with you, you can become a better person, or you can become a waste of chemicals and minerals.

But before you decide to turn yourself into minerals for the scrap yard, run down to the local airport and skydive, you will see your still alive and quite well.

If you would be brave enough to imagine taking your own life but not brave enough to jump from a perfectly good plane because you are scared you will get hurt (that does not make sense, LOL)
then try something that is new like scuba diving, that is BEAUTIFUL or if you don't want to take the lessons, do snorkeling, running, walking, bicycling, just get off that large cushion your growing and do something and you can possibly stop the crazy ideas.

This is posted for a reason, as some here would think I own a airfeild and a sky diving school, LOL

ACTUALLY, WE need all the members here we can get for help and backup, Every tormented Jack and Jill.

Now go and jump out of a plane...................

this is true,all the cool toys in the world dont matter. basicly all you have is you . you must look at yourslef in the mirror every morning. people and things come and go.we come in this world alone, we go out alone.and naked..lol
you mention suicide. theres a few things ive learned about that.. your right, some people want attention, when someone wants to die, they will do it and you cant stop the attemp. when they say they want to kill themselfs, they are looking for someone to talk them out of it, most times.
ive actually seen attempted suicides gone wrong. you wont die until your numbers up, when your numbers up, you die.. its as simple as that. if you try to die before your time, you may have to live with the damage you do to yourself though.so people should really think about that first. they think live sucks now, but a botched suicide could leave you a vegtable for the rest of your life and that would suck TONS more...
you must make you happy for you. nobody else. nobody else can make you happy, nobody else can 'fix' your life if your unhappy.
thats it, bottom line is once your 18, its all on you, good or bad.your on your own, nobody owes you a damn thing.. ( im not directing this to baraka, im talking in general)
so baraka, skydiving? wow, braver than i am thats for sure.. but if that helped, then by all means, jump out that plane! me, im a bit too big for that one..lol

Thanks a million BO.

Beautifully written, very meaningful and I loved your writing.

Life is what we make it for ourselves even if it is around the edges of this Hell we all live in.

No man is an island unto himself. We all need one another. God intended it to be that way.

Your words were and are so meaningful.

Thanks.

Read the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible.

I love to go camping and hiking and garden. I got out for the first time in a year and a half and mowed my lawn which I have always loved to do for exercise. I have been so depressed and so sick that I didn't want to go on with this stuff, but my husband, kids, and grandkids would suffer without me. My hubby told me that every day and continues to do so. I can't be that selfish. Now that I'm able I am doing more of what I love--getting out of this house.

Walking around the block briskley will give you a instant boost.

Baraka,

Thank you for your words and inspiration, As each moment passes and a new symptom appears it seems as if nothing good will ever be again. Thinking that I will never be able to hold or play with my future grandchildren breaks my heart. Knowing that the future holds a long harsh and painful road makes me wonder is it all worth waking up every morning just to discover yet another symptom of of this horrific disease. Knowing the probability that CDC findings will be a negative and inconclusive one is devastating. I can see how one would consider suicide as a way out, an end to all the pain and suffering.. an escape...

Then there are people like yourself. Someone that is so positive and inspirational. Someone that no matter the situation sees the rainbow. Someone that no matter the bad, can and will find the good. For that quality, I thank you.

I found out i had this curse less a week ago and i have not stopped crying since, literally. I am living with this alone as i have yet to tell anyone. Your words and love for life gives me hope... Someday i know i will smile again. I am so thankful that i found this site and the group of people that come here to help others.

Thanks BO... Rollercoaster ride on the outskirts of hell.... very powerful. Since I am a cry baby, the next time I get in a gob of dispair, I'll remember sky diving. You're so poetic, a great post. Thanks again Bustercat

[Baraka Obam]

Bustercat we are all cry babys every last one of us, but there is a point where you cross over, that point will have a person forgetting the meaning of life.

Life is a gift, so many of my friends are already gone, I am here, we are here.
