I recently came across a thread here on Gaia which reads:

inuyasha2000
A while ago a friend of mine committed suicide.
He shot himself in the head and i still dont know why.
this is the suicide note he wrote.


this is also my last post on GaiaOnline
let it teach you all something about life
life is short
you will understand eventually and it will be your time
and i understand now
never forget about how the life of your friend is a value to you and how much you would give to be with them
im sorry
good bye to everyone on gaiaonline

"I never once woke up in a better place or time.
I'm out of places to go.
Out of things to do to convince
myself that I'm helping doing well.
I've come to the conclusion that I've done all the things I will do in this life.
Learned all the things I will learn.
Experienced all that I will experience.
At this point I am only a burden to those around me.
The people that care about me have been given enough grief.
I am choosing to relieve that which surrounds me of my biting presence.
I've been trying to convince myself for some time that if I keep trying that then one day I'll be where I want to be.
Not struggling,
not dependant,
not indebted to anyone.
Then what?
I'm a terrible, greedy, selfish person who will never be satisfied with life.
I'm sorry."

I will be praying for Chris Duncan, his family, his friends, and his acquaintances. I would like to request that each of you say something for them as well. The suffering that surrounds and is caused by such a loss is extensive, and it breaks my heart to hear that someone ended their own life because they could not bear the pain it caused them.

If you could also stop by the thread and say something, I think it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly.

Om Mani Padme Hum ... Suicide doesn't ends grief ... it only creates more ...

Greed or Selfishness ... that isn't a reason to kill yourself ... defilements can be gotten rid of ...

I usually feel like Chris Duncan. Feeling as though I really am too selfish and that I can really serve no purpose. I may think these things, but I know that they are probably just illusions that I have out of boredom and because of my adolescence (hormones, etc.). I hope Chris is happy wherever he is. Things like this make me think. I wish the best for Chris Duncan, for he was a truly sad and troubled young man who wanted escape from suffering as many other people around the world...
