The abyss called despair
The hapless delinquent pulled the trigger, beginning a descent to the abyss called despair. If only grief were not so consuming, if death not the end, if forgiveness could be found; then hope might be seen as a shimmer on the horizon, glimpsed in the distance, kindled in our hearts.

sad
Too many are alone with no one to turn to in this selfish world. A very sad truth.
It is difficult to write anything that isn't sad with these words, isn't it?
One of my brother's good friends committed suicide during his senior year in high school. He felt hopeless because his father told him that if he went to college for anything but engineering, the family wouldn't help him. I'm sure his despair ran much deeper than this one admissibly upsetting incident.
None of his friends saw it coming until after the fact when they thought about the things he said. They can't be blamed of course. So often hindsight is all too clear.
poignant.
Thank you for your thoughts and sharing your experiences. If we all try to be there for other people then we can and will make a difference in this world. We can be bringers of light in the darkest places.
