HI Bogdan,
Thanks for inviting me to your forum. Unfortunately, this is sad, but very true. So often people have problems in their life, or tragedies that happen, and then they just wallow away in the "pity pot".
Many will turn to alcohol, drugs, or even attempt suicide, because they can not accept what has happened. It is an absolute shame when you see something like this happen to someone.
This reminds me of a story my father told me about a friend of his. There was this man, my Dad's friend, who was married for many, many years to his wife. His wife became ill and ended up passing away. He was very depressed of course over losing his wife, but it went beyond the "normal" mourning that people do.
He cried over her for months, and talked about her all the time. He talked about how empty his life was without her and how much he missed her. My Dad and another friend tried to console him and help him through it all. The 3 of them would be at 3rd friend's house every day and would just talk.
Then one day the man did not show up, and my Dad and the 3rd man wondered where he was at. Then later that day found out he killed himself, and left a note saying he could not live any longer without his wife. He said they did everything together and he was just much to lost without her to go on.
That was a very sad case. It is wonderful on one-hand to see someone love another person that much, but sad at the same time to see someone sacrifice their own life and go against God.
Albet Einstein was correct indeed with his quote.
Thanks for sharing that with us Bogdan.
God Bless!
