Hmmm... I don't know if this was meant as a joke, or just a "flipant" remark.
STU, I don't believe you.
"I'd give anything to be dead right now"?
Buddy... Death is free. Death is "easy".
To kill oneself doesn't cost anything (monitarily). You can do it anytime you like...
BUT, I don't think YOU want to die!!!!
"Life sucks"???
Really?
WHY?
And you think death does NOT suck? You think you are free from pain in the afterlife??... IF you choose to take your own life.
Life... and DEATH has its conscequences.
Or do you NOT believe in God???
No wonder you think life sucks!
YOU WANT THE PAIN TO STOP... Not your life to stop.
BIG DIFFERENCE.
There is hope. There is a better way. There is an answer. There is JOY... Joy... Imagine that!????
But, it's not easy.
"To end suffering takes great suffering."
"Consequences".
Do you want it?
Hope? Joy?
You CAN have it.
But, you need to admit that, "There is a God... And it's NOT you."
You cannot get out of this alone. You just can't. Sorry.
You need help. WE ALL DO.
YOU make the first move... You reach out for help... And it will all start to get better.
"Domino Effect".
BUT, No one can do it for you. YOU have got to want to.
Come onnnnnnnnnnnn. You CAN do it!
Life is pain... yes. Life is not fair. Yes.
BUT here we all are... in the middle of it...
And there ARE "Roses among the thorns".
I'll pray for you STU234. Will you pray for me too???
May God show you his Grace.
(ohhh, darn... BUT, you have to look for THAT too!!!)
In the words of James Brown, "Get up!!!! Get on up!!"
Peace
