S. O. S.

Is anybody listening? Perhaps no one is reading. I checked the other night late to see if I was listed on Yahoo or Ask or Goggle or anywhere anymore. I was first. I refused to get depressed but I discovered folks have come along and used Real Time Blogging with all kinds of variations. Anyway, I think they just kicked me off. How do I get more exposure? If you have a clue, let me know. I have an extremely important message to share.

Is anybody listening? These are words that run throughout a Good Charlotte tune S. O. S. As often as Is anybody listening? occurs, so does I can’t make it on my own. Can you hear me when I call? Is anybody listening?

Eric Hoffer said we often try to hide our emptiness. He concluded, The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there. What do you hear when listening to S. O. S.? Acute loneliness! Something is missing. He needs somebody’s help. He’s on the eve of defeat. He’s stuck in his own head and finds himself miles away.

Can you identify with any of that? Have you shot signals in the air because you need somebody’s help? Is anybody listening? Perhaps you feel that way and if you do, you haven’t yet turned to the correct person or you haven’t been clearly open about your need. I think the latter might just be the case.

Suicides occur because the person who would care and help and meet the need is either avoided or not alerted to the problem. Don’t kid yourself. People are there who care and would go the last mile with you. Don’t be bashful. Talk to someone. If that doesn’t work, try someone else. Don’t ever give up.

Suicide is terminal. Life is awesome. You did hear about the little girl who was in a class where the teacher gave an assignment in her class for each student to write down the 7 Wonders of the World. It took this little girl extra time to do the job, but when she completed her list it was beautiful and , I might add, educational.

The 7 Wonders of the World
1. To See
2. To Hear
3. To Touch
4. To Taste
5. To Feel
6. To Laugh
7. ToLove
