Just A Thought

Why, when people are suicidal, do they become melancholy? I understand that oftentimes it can spring from depression; however, once you hit a point where you are going to kill yourself, why not do everything? Go jump off a cliff into a body of water; drive faster than you ever have; find the biggest hill you can and board down it; jump out of an airplane; learn to ride a motorcycle; ride that motorcycle too fast; go car surfing; BASE jump off a canyon side; enjoy toasting some bread in the bath; go skiing in an avalanche; go white water rafting; mountain bike down a mountain; because hey, if you crash or things don't go as planned? You were planning on dying anyways. And through all of this maybe you will fall in love with life again, and see that there is something worth living for.
