    Today (September 10) is world suicide prevention day. My life's been touched by suicide more than once (as recently as 10 days ago). Be kind to someone today that maybe you've never spoken to before. You might never know who you save, but kindness goes a long way, and you might just turn someone around. :major

    I think that people should always be kind to one another. I agree, no one knows what the other person might be dealing with or going through and it doesn't hurt or cost anything to be kind. Even just a friendly smile or a simple courtesy can go a long way in helping/or brightening someones day.

    Sorry to hear of your experience with that, Pax. I'm lucky to never have had to deal with that and hope I never do.

    I'm with Dy. There is no reason not to extend kindness to other's for not other reason than that's how human beings should act.

    I agree to be kind and help and try to do things for others. I have had people take there own life on purpose then I also dealt with friends that were taken in seconds for stupid things that happen in life. But I also think/know theres people out there that just need someone to talk to.

    Hey Pax, good point. I have also lost someone to suicide, but not recently, a few years ago. :( When someone thinks they are taking the short way 'out' they don't realize what they are leaving to those they are leaving behind. It has got to be the worst. I hope you are alright.
