Life Is Too Fragile To Be Wasted

[Lord_Omar_Iv]

Well, i got the news last night that my friend had shot himself in the head on saturday night. No one knows for sure if it was by complete accident or on purpose nor will ever know. I am at a mix of emotions of all kinds about it as ive known the guy since high school days (4 yrs removed from high school). I dont understand why it happened because of where and when. A bunch of friends including him were up at the cabin this weekend and luckily for me i decided not to go. and saturday night when everything seemed fine and normal (even him), and out of nowhere he shot himself in the room where plenty of other friends were who are now in doubt emotionally scarred probably for the rest of their lives for having to see it happen.... I am really at a loss of words and hope no one has to ever go thru what many of my friends did and what i would have gone thru had i elected to go. Id just like everyone to take a step back and reflect on themselves and realize life is just too fragile to waste like that and no matter what struggle you are going thru in life, it really is better than being dead

So he did kill himself, right?

 

 

 

You know what they say about suicide being a permanent solution to a temporary problem...

 

 

 

Hope you feel better. Try to talk to a friend about it. Have a good cry too.

I approach everyday with that attitude. I see the world as a dangerous place naturally. Why do you think the reason I play RuneScape as much as I do is?

 

 

 

Whatever you're feeling, it will come clear with time. No one understands their emotions after a large shock like this. You and your mates just have to stick with each other and help yourselves through this. Don't be scared of showing emotion over it either; it's better out than in. :wink:

 

 

 

Also, don't blame yourselves for this. I know some people who have had someone close to them commit suicide and they've blamed themselves personally for it. You couldn't have known he was gonna do that, so don't blame yourselves for not preventing it. It was out of your control.

 

 

 

I hope things feel better after some time Omar. :(

I"m sorry for your loss.

 

 

 

Some people, even admist friends still have doubts, pains, anger, saying "why do they just sit like that, chatting with 1 another, not aware of my pain inside? Why don't they care?" while he sits emotionally still so no one knows he is in pain.

 

 

 

Alot of people hide their pain, yet we want people to care about us. Its very hard to describe.

I agree a lot with your title, life is too fragile, the human body never evolved for defending against modern weapons and illnesses. One minute you could be quite happily talking to someone and the next, being zipped into a body bag. Anyway, your tale is a very sad one indeed and I feel sorry for your loss.

Exactly. Thats why everytime when im running or something along those lines and i want to give up, i just say to myself: One day you won't be able run again, you could lose your legs the next day you never whats going to happen, if that doesn't work ill say to myself, do it for the people who can't run i.e. wheelchair bound war victims.
