Hey YTB–
Think About This
A fellow was driving across a bridge and saw a young man climbing over the rail for what was obviously an attempt to jump into the raging river far below, thus ending it all. The fellow slammed on his brakes, jumped from the vehicle and ran to the young man.
“Wait; don’t jump,” cried the fellow.”Please, let’s talk; there’s so much to live for. Will you just sit with me talk about it?” To that impassioned plea the young man agreed.
The young man began telling the fellow all his problems, the troubles in his life, the obstacles and insurmountable hurdles he could no longer face, the negative condition of his existence; the bleak future.
After a few minutes they both climbed over the rail and jumped.
Moral: There are too many negative thinkers, profits of doom, critics, nay-sayers, and hateful people looking for an opportunity to pull you down to their gutter level. Stay away from it; do not be susceptible to the negative influence of others.
