I'm still hoping all will go well, however, I do NOT want to take any risks that may provoke either of u back to a mutual disagreement. Since u r both my friends and used to be friends until u started arguing, I knew, from talking to both of you, that you could still be friends if I could get you two to work things out. It took some work but I'm hoping that the foundation doesn't crumble before the house is finished!

Well, for not so long ago, i read Neale's "Conversations with God - an uncommon dialogue". Gods message in that book told me that death is nothing to fear. The word "death" actually does not exist. We will always live, except in a non-physical form.

Death is nothing to fear. Death itself should be called "The Afterlife".


Is there any real proof that we supposidly always exist? Has anyone written a book saying that they were so and so in a previous life and now they r so and so? Have u seen anyone w/any evidence that they have tales to tell of this afterlife? And what about God? I do not mean to offend any of u christians or god worshipers, but I had an....amusing...High School friend of mine say one time, that god and the bible were made by a drunk hundreds of years ago in a tavern... lol Now if he does exist, how can it be proven? U ppl can say that he IS there, but still, how do u know for sure?


Well, it's up to you to decide whether you're going to beleive it or not. Myself, on the other hand, do beleive.

I used to be extremely religious, but i'm not anymore. The christian religion is the most lying one. Nothing noted in the Bible are actually true... but then again, it's your decision whether you are going to beleive or not. Read the book i mentioned some time ago, and then you tell me f you beleive the same as me. Beleif has noting to do with religion. Religion is a twisted, but effective way of getting attention and influence. Think about it...

Is your name Francis Bean?

I know I'm going to get a lot of people shooting down my opinion, but I think people who suicide are just cowards.

I had a friend in school who used to take overdoses, slit his wrists, anything, just to get attention.

He eventually died three years ago, took his own life. He left behind his wife of three months, with a mortgage and a baby on the way.
He was 20, she was 19.
I was the best man at his wedding.


He said there was too much pressure in his life and he couldn't deal with it. He was in the last year of his law degree, after scoring in the top 5% 2 years running. He had it made. And he threw it all away.

If I had him right in front of me I would beat him to death with my own hands I'm so angry at him.

From where I sit, I cannot know your pain or the pain of the people you speak of.

It is, however, undeniably real. Some people face this direction of life while others may not ever. Whether I, or others like me, ever encounter such thoughts and feelings or not, it does not mean they do not exist. I identify the pain and sadness that is there.

I also wonder, greatly, at what the answer might be. I know I like to tell myself there is an answer out there somewhere but the reality is, sometimes there is no answer to the questions we seek. Life is hard sometimes and we find ways to go on living. All and yet it does not take away the pain of the suffering loved ones we carry along life's shallow shores.

All we have is each other. I'm glad we can read the thoughts of others in this forum. Reading their writings somehow comforts me often. It's good to know there are others out there with questions like mine.

My heart goes with you my friend.

I've often think about suicide. Once, I was close to cut my arms with a knife, but the only reason I didn't do it was my religion. But that was a couple of monts ago, and I was in a huge, black and hating hole then. I'm on my way up. I hope so...

Suicide

I'm getting worried related to one fact! Am a student at the best collage in my town and I know lot of person and I know a few very well. The problem is that i see that more and more students think more or less seriously at suicide...And I'm talking this one from my own experience. Last years some very stupid things happened to me and rhe only thing that prevented me from suicide was my religion(orthodoxism). And I was thinking that I one of the few students who thought about suicide...But I had some disscusion with some ome my collegues and got really scared. One told me that he was one step from suicide. He got his T-Shirt off and took a knife and pointed at him...One last thought stopped him.SCARY!

( I have one opinion related to suicide. The only persons who have the right to suicide are those who hate all humans, not humanity, all humans beacuse they are like him, same biological beeing and beacuse and he doesn't want to see a human again, he can't kill all humans(logically) so the only solution... I'm not saying that all you who have this feeling should go and jump from the 9'th floor, but I really don't see any possible reason for someone to go for a seppuku, except this...)

Frostwolf

Please read some of this thread before deciding what you're about to do. It is vital that you understand the lifetime of pain you will cause so many people if you do this.

Something else to consider as well: What if you have children in your future?

I have three children that would never have been born if I died. I have now taken on another child that is also five months old. This little boy's mother could not pay for childcare and her husband couldn't help. He had no job. My wife told me this woman was taking the baby with her to work. She would constantly stop working to care for the baby. Her boss told her she was going to be fired if she kept bringing her baby to work with her.

The little boy is the same age as my five month old daughter. I heard of this and offered to watch the woman's baby for $30 a week. Normally, childcare is very expensive and I knew this so I told her that I only needed money to watch a movie or eat a dinner once a week. Now the mother is working and the father has found a job because I was able to watch her baby for her. The little boy's name is Maddox and I love him as my own child. I watch them both together, my daughter and Maddox. And now this woman is going to be ok.

The point of my story is that you don't know how many people you will help in your future Frostwolf. Someday you could grow to be a great hero who saves the life of somebody else. Remember that I said this because this is something we all have inside of us. But sometimes we forget when life treats us badly. Remember for yourself that you could be a hero someday but only if you live to see that day.

I know you can get through this. My heart tells me you have the courage so don't let the jerks in your life tell you that you're worthless. Someday your kids might need you or someone else's kids. The question is, where will you be?

Sincerely, Jake "Consis" Batchelor

Edited by Guitarguy at 20:38, 11 Apr 2007.

Due to my religious beliefs and upbringing, I oppose the idea of suicide being the answer to escaping life's problems. Of course, being the moody and sensitive person that I am, I occasionally imagine how things would be if I took my own life. I'd try to picture how my family and friends would act or feel if they knew I had truly jumped off. This usually occurs when I'm depressed about something that hurts deep down. What keeps me from taking the next step, turning fantasy into reality? Many things, actually: faith, the family and friends in my life, my conscience, important commitments, and common sense.

Your too young to die.
You dont even know what life is about.
If religion & life bringing leads some young person into suicide.
Then that must be wrong.

Guitarguy,

I don't know if you've been told this already, but I shall endeavor to remind you of it none the less. I believe you are the rock in your family. You are the one thing the others cling to and look to for hope and courage. I believe even in your young age and immature ways that most or all of your family look to you for moral guidance. You are the hero. You are a hero to people whom have decided they aren't going to tell you so.

Why wouldn't they tell you something like that; You might ask? It could be that they don't have a high enough self esteem. Perhaps their morale is so low that they can't see past their own faults. Ask yourself why it matters. Why does morale matter? You're a family not a battalion of soldiers right? Perhaps .... but you are also a team. Right? Your family is a team: in life! Good morale will undoubtedly lead to confident historic plays that go down in the history books of life-saving events! There is such a thing as a "Team Captain" and I believe that is you. I know a little from what you have written here at Heroes Community. I know some small pieces of information about your father and how he all but in name has rejected the responsibility of his role in the family. (or atleast has become derelict in his duties)

This is where you can now discover a simple truth. From the oldest and wisest and most experienced to the youngest and most fool hardy .... you now realize that every person knows on some level that a father should be a certain way. He should be responsible, should provide, should protect, love, and care for all within his sphere of influence. This way may not be clearly defined but we all know it exists and that it is something that MUST be carried out! For whatever reason (the most noble of reasons) you now find yourself as being aware and conscious of the role of not simply father but also guardian over those whom you love; your mother for example. You are the hero. You are the guardian. You are the dragon slayer.

Let the dragon be the circumstance of your childhood! You did not ask to be put in this role. We don't get to choose who our parents are. But here you are; here is where you find yourself, and your will is strong. You have courage enough, now it is time to be brave and vigilant. You must conquer it. You must then go on to tell others about it. You've been gifted with the art of music. Use it. Tell your story in the songs you sing. It doesn't matter if people like how it sounds. Sing for your yourself. Sing for those whom you love. If you do this then I know and truly believe that you will rise up out of the flames of sadness and heartache. You will be reborn like a phoenix in resolution and strength of character. You will be you, stronger, wiser, and more able to continue protecting the people that matter most to you.

And you're not alone. Remember Ruby? She too found herself the child of parents which she didn't particularly choose. Her circumstances were different but the concept remains constant. Every day children find themselves the target of parents who shirk some of our basic rights and responsibilities. Many are borderline negligent. Some are proven criminal. And all require a hero to save the day. In all cases a hero would be most useful. Someone (anyone) to step in, take the reigns of that irresponsible horse of ignorance and self-doubt and lead it to the right path most commonly wished for: responsible loving parents and guardians. You can do this. I know you can. I have never met you and yet I still believe in you. It is up to you to lead your family into the light. Without you, who then will it be? How long will it be until the next hero comes along or until someone else realizes the need? Today is the day. It is the first day of the rest of your life. Let this day and that challenge be yours for the taking.
