Mental Funk

A friend of mind, "kindly" posted a video of someone jumping to their death on Facebook. I knew it would send me into a funk, but I couldn't stop myself from watching, hoping, wondering someone or something would stop this. After all who was standing their video taping this person's anguish? I can still see the guy climb up onto the railing and let himself fall into the sky.

I wonder how someone can get to the point where their life means absolutely nothing to them. It makes me wonder if there was anyone out there who was searching for him, wondering about him, panicking at the thought of him causing him physical pain.

Of course I'm kind of depressed for the rest of the evening, my heart is heavy as I know he's not the only one out there, but what can I, one small person in this great big universe do?

I can pray, and hope that if I every come across someone in the balances, that I will have the courage to step up and say something.

I can't imagine.......
