"To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. That is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Really nice quote. It reminds me of how Semso helped save his girlfriend from suicide. It's really hard to imagine that but it could have happened. I view him as a sort of hero in that way because of how someone can help and prevent really bad things from happening. Suicide is not the way to go. I feel sad when I read up on other people on the internet who killed themselves. I think to myself that maybe I could have prevented that in some way; I want to help. You know, when I was younger and dumber I actually thought about doing it. That's when I was a bit atheist and denied the truth. When I think about it, who knows, I could have died if my life went in another direction and read false books and believed it. I'm really glad now that this is what's happened since then, and that I'm not "just another" sad story. Maybe the reason why I didn't go in the wrong direction is because I am too cowardly to do it, and because I want to leave this world with a respectable reputation or life that would be interesting enough to be remembered in history. That's probably my main goal, but I doubt it would happen unless I steal a history book and write myself in there somewhere. Maybe I should be a do-gooder and help out everyone like Mother Teresa, I don't know. Well, I'm going to sleep to watch some "movies". Talk to you later.
