Man ki baat

Some people say "You'll lose me." Like they're the fucking lottery.

Sometimes, suicide is the greatest proof of intelligence.

Silent screams have no radio frequencies.

1. All people are lotteries actually. You never know surprise they carry until you scratch the surface.

2. No suicide can be intelligent, we are all wired to strive for survival. What if the only thought every suicidal person ever had was "Oh Damn !!", but I guess we will never know.

3. There IS A radio frequency attached to silence. Sounds audible to the human ear are in the frequency range of 20 – 20,000 Hz. So anything below 20 Hz is your silent scream :)

Thought-provoking post, which says a lot in a few words, So does Himanshu Tandon's response.

I've been the one to say "You'll lose me," or something similar, and been disregarded and walked; emotionally or actually. But perhaps it depends on whether you're the one being messed about, or whether you're doing the messing. And I may not be the fucking lottery, but I'm pretty damn valuable and those people have lost something good, because I once loved them.

If we were purely creatures of logic, would we decide life was worth living? Whenever I read a biography, it ends with the death of the person it's about. Of course they die: we all do. If life is valuable, why is it? I can only come down to love. I have dear friends - I was at school with Lynn, we've known each other since we were seven or eight. Their daughter died suddenly nearly two years ago and they and their son are still devastated and grief-stricken and all worry about each other, because none of them really feel life is worth living. But the death of one of them would cause even more grief to the others. I cannot believe that a triple suicide would be a sign of their intelligence. So "sometimes," yes, I'll not argue. But I think that we must keep going and love each other.
