"This life is too much for some people."

I was just looking around in My Documents and randomly found this piece of writing about suicide. It's really interesting. I'm pretty sure I snagged it from the web somewhere, but I forgot where. Check it out and show it to anyone who may be feeling that way:

"Ah, yes. So once again, we arrive at the topic that our lives attempt to avoid, yet seemingly revolve around: Death. One could speak for hours upon hours about this topic, the greatest unknown that is known to man. Where do we end up? How does it feel? What is its meaning? There are many questions, mostly unanswerable... but when it deals with the living soul, and its choice for death, that, is another story.
My friends, I speak of suicide. As one author put it, suicide is merely a way to end the insurmountable pain. The way we should think is that pain is overwhelming, yes, but not unconquerable. Why surrender the most valuable thing that you have been given, whether by a god or your parents? Either way, it is a priceless gift, and should not be surrendered because of a seemingly limitless amount of pain, which, I remind you, results from this great gift.
"How might you fight it?" a desperate one may ask. I tell you now, that life is not the only gift that has been given to you, nor is it the strongest. The will to live, now that is the strongest power that has been handed to you. Your mind, your soul, your desires, your heart, everything revolves around the power of will that has been given to you. Solidify it, and stand. You must endure the pain, endure the pressure, endure the hardship. Pain and pleasure are tied together in this world of life; perhaps we may truly understand this as we die and pass on.
But meanwhile, as we are still alive, take the hand of a friend, and take comfort in the energy that flows from his/her heart to yours. Stand tall with this buddy of yours, fight off the pain. Find pleasure and peace. Rest assured, you are not friendless. When you think you are alone, you are doubting the very nature of man. Cry out for help, for mercy, for repreive; I assure you, some stranger will answer your call.
And in that moment, they are no longer a stranger...

The human will is the sword that cannot be broken; the human friendship is the shield that cannot be shattered."
