i haven't posted for the longest time here but since something came up i just had to write my thoughts down... last night i had a few drinks with friends and we toasted to celadon and the sorrows of life... yes there are many different kind of sorrows in life and one must be so happy as to not have them all at the same time... but still these sorrows... one will always encounter... the good thing about last night was i was with friends... there were people at my side... we were able to tell each other our opinions and reactions and even give advice to each other... but my post today isn't really about last night... it is about an acquaintance of mine who also has encountered one of these sorrows... the big difference is that he was at his house all alone with no one and most likely he had no one to confide to... he is now dead... i don't know why but i wasn't too surprised when i heard about it... imagine the feeling of having problems and no one else is there with you... it shows the importance of your friend's presence... your family for that matter... it shows how a simple gesture might have been able to save a life... a simple chat... a simple pat on the shoulder... or maybe even a hug... i personally feel a bit of regret that this person took his own life... it was such a waste... the problem he had could have been worked out... it was actually in the process of being fixed... but instead of patience he drew on the power of despair... no one knows why he did that... i just wish that by doing what he did he found the peace in his life that he was searching for... as for those who read this... may you all find the importance in life... to choose to live...
