Suicidal Stunt...Stupid guy...

i'll update later, for now, here's the link.
frankly, i wished he jumped.




heres the story~



It was another ordinary day off for me.

Late mornings, bring sister to school, brunch with mom, shopping after that...same routine (well...almost) until wo go on our way home.
a crowd was gathering at the void deck of a block we are going to bypass.
something yellow was growing bigger and bigger.

then my mom spotted the missing link.
a youngster was seated at the ledge at the 6th floor.












My mom was shocked as that ignorant boy teased the crowd leaning away from the wall.
I on the other hand was furious!

Day in day out, i see people fight the war against cancer for their mere chance to survive yet another mere day.
the almost cruel ritual of their treatment schedule, it sometimes breaks my heart to see them even with almost 3 years of professional polishing from the docs and nurses i worked with. I see them again and again after every treatment, weaker, thinner, balder. I see them fight nausea, weakness in their limbs, the torture mentally and physically. I literally see some of them waste away... while some recover (goodie!).

so why are you still sitting there??

oh ya... i forgot...according to a book i read sometime back, the problem now is probably not simply to jump or not to jump.
its a situation which got out of their hand. the thing on their hand now is not death, its how to survive after survival.
its a fight to see how they can exit this situation and yet save their 'face'. they fear the coward label, the ugly situation of being whisked away by police etc etc....













well the civil defense did eventually pull him back in a rather efficient and well, im impressed~
kudos to them~
