Freedom is Important because People are Important
Quote:Two people die every second. A woman is america is raped once every day. Children are beaten. Animals are slaughtered. Ultimately the fate of every person and living thing is to become food for something else. Memories are forgotten. It is impossible to express the amount of pain and suffering that exists in this world, and I am immoveable in my certainty that there is something terribly wrong with it.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Not only do you do great work, but you're a scary dude to anyone who might want to pick on somebody. Most Management positions are chosen because they know how to use the stick.

Quote:Originally posted by ANTHONYT: I tried to think back to times I'd been unhappy before. There were several. And then I thought of times I'd been happy. It turned out that unhappy times had eventually been followed by happy times. Sometimes these times weren't even separated by much space.

Quote: How many times have you considered suicide in your life? If greater than zero, what methods have you considered and why?

Quote:All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany's Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!

Quote:At neither time did how I looked or what kind of corpse I would leave or how clean anything was cross my mind even once. I don't think anyone who hasn't gotten close enough to actually picking up something with which to end their life can judge those who have. I reject that women (or at least the vast majority of them) choose the methods they do in order to look good. I'm sure some do, but I've known a few bipolars who tried it (and a couple who succeeded) and none of them had how they'd look on their minds. It depends on the person and is totally personal.

Quote:Originally posted by BYTEMITE: Neither have I, but that doesn't mean that it's not a factor on some level with other women. I suspect if you never bought into the make-up fashion stuff to begin with and never DID care what you looked like and that aspect was NOT depression related, then of course you wouldn't START to care at that point. Although I do love how people assume away about what I have and haven't done, and also them and their comments about how judgmental I am. Provoking me into spilling my heart off the board then laughing at me and ignoring me. Well. I guess I really am as pathetic as I think I come across - none of you even think I have the guts to do it. I'm going to enjoy proving you all wrong.

Quote:Originally posted by DREAMTROVE: Anthony, Most men in america work all day to pay the interest on debt that they can never repay. I'm not sure what else to call this condition. Ironic that the population most trapped in these circumstances are african americans. White americans are typically indentured for a number of years before they're able to pay off their student loans and mortage, though typically now more than the seven that their ancestors were obliged to serve. Slavery never went away, it just evolved to be more discreet. On suicide, i know why men are more successful at it, but I don't know if it should be said. I think that suicide is the result of a momentary lapse of reason, not a long term destination. It's like a short circuit. We built fault-tolerant systems for a while. You wouldn't want your computer to respond to a momentary loose connection by deleting all of your files. I don't know why we accept this for people.

I've never really had any justification for any of this aside from trying to find meaning. Jack - believe me, I know. I've actually estimated how long it would take everyone I know to get over it, and I put it at about 6 months, probably shorter, in most cases I suspect it would be a few days to a week. I'm not really close to anyone, which makes it really convenient. And it's not exactly like any of them would be surprised. Niki: I think you've done far more in your life than I ever will. But, I know how you feel, not wanting to stick around to old age.
