Well, this is Dr Bruce Prescott, compassionate man about town who happens upon the general geographical area of a suicide. Naturally it makes him think. Often, real insight can be gained in such moments. I think i should do him the honour of quoting him in full.
Last night someone took their own life.
I was with the 84,000 fans inside the OU football stadium near where this person ended his/her life in despair.
I did not hear the explosion. I probably did not know the person.
I wonder if I would have noticed the desperation had I known the person.
There have been occassions when I did know someone who committed suicide and did not perceive the pain in their life before they took it.
After the fact, I learned that most of them were gay.
