I had been thinking in my head over and over since I read this status a few minutes ago about posting something. I almost felt it to be weird to post something about it but I feel that its important to talk about. I read a status that said a man jumped off a bridge today, even after this person stopped and asked if he is okay. Hearing about someone ending their life is so devastating to me. This man said he was okay and then jumped soon after. It is good to hear that someone stopped and tried to talk to them. I just feel things like this should be talked about. You never know if you taking that moment to ask someone if they are okay will help or not. I feel like we live in a world today where people are so consumed and wrapped up with themselves that we forget about being compassionate and helpful. Im to blame about that at times, too. Its easy to live a fast paced life and forget to slow down. I just write this because I hope that in reading it we can all realize we DO have the power to help someone. Even if its a simple question asking how that person is doing...you never know what you can do for someone. I wish this man didnt jump, but there are things in life we wont understand. To the girl who stopped and asked how he was doing, you did a great thing. I know it was a sad outcome, but you tried. Thats more than a lot of people would have done.
