They know nothing of George Washington but they sure have the TV sit-com schedule memorized.

A friend said to me “Suicide isn’t the answer”.

I responded “It can be”

Confused, he asked “When?”

I asked “What is it called when you kill yourself?”........

As someone who was clinically dead (for a few seconds anyway) and has nearly died twice, I know that life is a precious gift. It's not something to be given up for trivial reasons. I fought too hard to have anyone besides God take it from me.

I understand that mental illness overtakes some in a massive wave that overtakes their emotional faculties. I can also accept the idea of killing yourself in battle if you know that you could betray your comrades while under torture.

However, suicide is usually the permanent solution to a temporary problem at best. At worst (especially if you believe in the God of the Bible), suicide is only the beginning of your problems.
