Can We?

When someone comes to you and confesses that he/she is feeling so suicidal and the feelings has been harboring for a long time. How will you react?

1- Try talking him/her out of it
2- Encourage him/her to get help
3- Tell him/her go ahead and do it
4- Just ignore the telltale signs of an attention seeker
5- Block him/her totally from being your friend/associate

While the dead lay sleeping, the living are left wondering what could possibly have gone wrong in the very last second. More than often you would like to blame the people who carry on with the suicidal act as being selfish, nasty and inconsiderate.

The turmoil of no return must be coiling unending in his/her mind before having the courage to end the one life that is so precious, but can we blame them, can we possibly spite them, or can we leave them in a grave so dark yet unforgotten?

What if fate was more consuming in managing his/her walks along this path of life that freewill has nothing to do with such action at all? Where do we go from here? Can we find it in our hearts to forgive them and at least let them go to the forever sleep peacefully?

Can we?
