12. I'd be frustrated knowing I couldn't fix anything if I was gone.

I've known and loved too many who are simply gone.

That's not any kind of judgement call. I don't blame them.

I also know people, including myself, who've made it past their darkest hour.

And I really don't know what I'll do in any darker hours to come.

I do know my most basic state is dumpster-diving-for-food crazy homeless person, totally alienated from everyone, and I survived that.

But I'll never claim that's a good idea.
