All We Need Is Love

good morning pandave! welcome to monday and just for you we have a story about a brooklyn father who killed his 21-year-old son in the bathtub and then killed himself. have a great day!

maybe it is now the news story of choice of late but it seems that killing your family and then yourself has become all the rage. i can totally understand growing tired and of this world and wanting to try something or nothing else - brooklyn dad left a note saying that he had tried to get help for his depression and nothing was helping - but what's up with not wanting to just go it solo. i mean it's not as though the other folk said they didn't want to give this whole life game another stab. talk about misery loving company! sheesh!!!

what? do you think you might want them to come along to hold your hand during your trip on the other side? when i think about it, unless your kin is like jeffrey dahmer, i doubt you're headed in the same direction. you'll probably still be alone.

maybe you have decided that this world really sucks and you don't want to impose the pain of existence on your nearest and dearest. why not try a suicide pact? if they love you, i'm sure they'll be right behind you... or not. they might catch sight of some shiny happy people and think that they might want to give life a chance. hell, they may catch sight of some miserable existentialists and still think they are willing to roll with the punches.

i don't know... you could be upset that those you love couldn't help you conquer your demons. they're probably broken up inside about it too. i mean even if they say things like "it's killing me that i can't help you," that's a figure of speech. most people don't mean it literally.

all you end up doing is leaving us trying to figure out how to be sad and angry at the same time. and i tell you that's almost as difficult as walking and chewing gum at the same time.
