I Have Something to Say

CW: Suicide

An old friend of mine killed himself last week. We hadn't been close in years but I knew he was depressed. I could see it in his face and when I saw him at the grocery store I asked him if he wanted to talk. He said no and I understand why. It's not like normal sadness. It's the feeling of prolonged hopelessness for your life. He was a good person and I was sad.

There is a story.
There were 2 dogs.

One dog was roaming and it came across a castle. The dog went in. Inside of the castle was made up entirely of small glass pieces. 4"×4" mapped together. So the dog sees 14000 look alike dogs. He becomes nervous. HE THINKS SO MANY DOGS MEANS SO MANY ENEMIES. He barks slowly. The echo comes modified. The dog gets more horrified. He again barks louder and it's echo gets amplified thousand times making it unbearable for him to stand in.

The second dog went inside the same castle and saw the same dogs. He thought SO MANY FRIENDS .he started wagging it's tail. And the next scene was so wonderful. Can you believe how many friends he had?

Moral - You are alone in this world. For the world to be a better place, Feel like the whole world is the image of yourself. Be positive and the world will be positive.

@TheOrionbeltseeker Thank you for that. That's simple but good and it made me smile to think of the happy dog.
