You're right about something.. If we die the only thing we're remembered for is the suicide unless our lives are that of Vincent Van Gough or others like him.. Since most of us don't get that kind of fame the suicides are often pointless ending short term pain and never making attempts to change things for the better.
If I had died the first time I tried i would have no kids and chances are my entire family would think of me as a distant thought and little more.
I'm not banking on some wonderful legacy and really don't care, but I'm also not to wild about what little legacy left be something like, "What a quitter."
That's one of the phrases that typically just pisses me off. Blame the person who is depressed for making other people sad.. Oh that makes everything better, does't it?
