you know what I find interesting is that most people who are not completely depressed find themselves wanting to live when faced with death.
Anyone who says they want to die and commit suicide is depressed and needs to see a Doctor who can help them live, not die.
Kevorkian took advantage of the needy by killing them and now he wants to live when death is coming soon.
Sorry, I have no pitty for him!
This is in Aesop - "The old man and Death" ( from memory ):
An old man was carrying a load of firewood down the road and became exceedingly weary. "Oh, I just can't go on like this anymore," he said to himself, "I wish Death would come and take me away!"
With that, Death appeared to him and said, "You called on me?"
"Why, yes," said the old man, "Perhaps you can help me carry this firewood?"
The moral: It is one thing to call on Death, another to see him coming.
Me neither!! .....and Howdy long lost friend! Polly
The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven.
