Talk a stranger out of suicide

*Steps up to the window near the Ledge where Adam is standing, ready to jump*Ahem, Excuse me sir! Yes, listen, I know you probably have a lot on your mind right now, but if you could just hear me out for a little bit here, I would like to speak with you! Okay.*Pulls out guitar, and starts playing it while singing*(SEE FIRST VIDEO)http://www.youtube.com...Alright man, now it's for me to get serious. I want to tell you a little bit about why this is a very bad Idea, my friend.Listen I know your feeling down right now. I have felt it too. But listen mate, this seriously is not the answer. Trust me whatever your experiencing now, will one day vanish, and will even be replaced by the most intense happiness you could ever feel!Let me start off with a few things.*********DEATH IS NOT WORTH ITAlright matey, listen, death is not worth it. Again, I don't know what it is you are going through in your life right now. I want you to think for a moment please. Think about the happiest moment you have ever had in your life? How old were you? Where were you? What made this memory so happy? Think about all these questions while you conjure the image up in your head.Now something is going on with you particularly in your life right now, that is deterring you and preventing you from seeing life the way you may have saw it at the particular time in your life when you were the happiest. What specific road blocks have come into play since then? Also what is it that has prevented you from experiencing that same un-happiness? These questions are all rhetorical, by the way. I don't expect you to answer any of them, or reveal any personal information, just to think about them.My next question is most important. What would you do then, to experience that happiness again? Now when considering this, I want you to really think about how worth it being happy to you really is. We know for a fact that lack of happiness is what has got you up on this ledge here. So without even having to answer the question, I already know that your primary goal is happiness.So now the big question here is this. Is the few times of happiness we feel, not worth all of the bull crap we have to go through in life for? I mean it's always going to be there. Life will never be perfect for anyone by any means.So how do we deal with this in a way such that is not so mentally tolling, and itching at the back of our minds every day, about the stresses, problems, and anything else we occur?The answer is attitude. Which admittedly can be hard to sustain.But friend, I would like you to know that maintaining a certain attitude is not impossible. There all several different ways we can enthusiastically enforce happiness. I am going to tell you some of the things that I myself do. ATTITUDE So often I focus on the many things that go wrong. Humans as a whole naturally do this. So much that when things do work for them, they do not take it as anything more than a normal occurrence. Let's break it down a little bit for you. Let's suppose this scenario is going to be your day. You wake up. You make breakfast, brush your teeth, get ready, and are looking good for work. You then get in your car and begin to drive to work. You get stopped at a red light. Instantly your mind pulls up a red flag and says something along the lines of "GREAT Just what I need!", and you managed to barely get to work on time.Your boss asks you to fetch him a cup of coffee. You do. As you head back you trip, and coffee spills all over you and the freshly cleaned floor. Your brain now is saying "Damn it, my day just keeps getting worse. Your boss says "Don't worry about it", and sends you to work on some documents. As you arrive in your office you notices piles of paperwork on your desk, and know this is going to be extremely time consuming, and vexing. Finally your brain says "I have had enough! I am not happy! Nothing is going my way!". And thus your day has been determined to be what you would consider bad. Now let's take a look back at this scenario and find if there were any good things that happened.- You had a good breakfast.- You prepped yourself up to look well for work, no problems.- You own a working car, where many people have to walk, or take busses.- Your boss is kind and dismisses your accident. - Even though there is a lot of work, you still have a job, where as a lot of people are poverty stricken!Now I know that this little scenario may have absolutely nothing to do with the things you are going through. For all I know, it could be extremely worse than that. However, I want you to understand the point here, that the way we live in happiness, is by recognizing the many many good things that happen to us in our every day life, that we so often seem to forget about.Another way to do it is to look at the 'problems' as challenges. The word problem implies that it is just something in the way. The word challenge changes the whole pretext of the situation, however. When we are able to look at something that goes wrong, and say to ourselves, ya know, that's not all the bad. In fact I am happy this happened, because I have the opportunity to learn something from this!Okay, maybe I went a little overboard with this. No you aren't expected to act that way over every little challenge. The point is more to not look at them as something bigger than they are, however. There is one more thing I want to talk to you about right now though. LOVED ONES I want you to close your eyes for a minute. Again I want you to create some mental pictures in your head again. Who is the person you love most in life? Which person holds so much importance to you that without this person, the world would seem just a little bit dimmer without?See this person. This person is in anguish. They feel they have lost everything. This person no longer wants to live. This person attempts to commit suicide. The "attempt" is a success. Your phone rings. You hear the news. You drop the phone before the person is done speaking. It can't be true. Not this person. You jump in your car, and head to where the person said the act happened. You see this persons house is on fire, as they are the only person inside. You scream and run towards the house, but are held back by police and fireman. As you scream and scream for this person, The fireman just keeps repeating "It's too late... It's too late."You wonder to yourself "Why? Why did you do this!" You break down and cry. As the funeral starts, you are finally able to look down at this person. This person is beautiful to you in heart and in mind. How has this person shown up for you in your life? What memories did you hold with this person? Was this person a family member? Was this person a Friend? Was this person a lover? The funeral ends. People start to leave, but not you. You stay. You can't bear to leave this person. This person who meant so much to you. Who possibly changed your life. After hours, your are forced away. You watch as your loved one is buried. The last sight you will ever see of the person who you love so much. You go to their house. Though it is charred, and burnt, by a self lit and purposeful fire, you do not care. You enter the bedroom. This is the place where this person would sleep. You touch the burnt bed longingly. Is it still messy from how they woke up that morning? Was it nice and folded? You realize that everything that was left in the room, was the way it was as made by this person. Suddenly it all seems special to you. The posters, the dirty clothes on the ground, even the meaningless things. These things all belonged to this person. This person who you held so dearly to your life. You ask yourself again "Why? How could this person leave me?" *Pulls out guitar, and begins singing one more time*http://www.youtube.com...(Please watch second video) I am done talking for now my friend, but please consider my words. My friend Imabench wishes to speak to you.
