The only two things that have ever kept me from suicide:
1) What if I screw up & it just HURTS for years?
2) I'm gonna die, anyway & I'm kinda lookin forward to the surprise. When I
plan things, they NEVER turn out as cool as the spontaneous events.
In my life, I've fallen on both sides (& in between), virtually every issue:
religion, politics, drugs, morals, etc. These two things have stayed
constant.
Just my thoughts,
Thor
