The Suicide King gives another (more hopeful perspective) on suicidal feelings, which could change young lives. Bravo and on behalf of other readers... thank you!

How fun. I wonder what my boys would think of them. Some brilliant (Coke international - I'd like to teach the world to sing...) Some poignant as hell (the Native American crying over litter), Some hilarious, (plop plop fizz fizz....) and (Where's the Beef!)/ They didn't influence what I bought, but they influenced my perception of culture.

But knowing that we can nudge people toward joy and inspiration and contemplative thought is more than enough.<br /><br />Keep the faith.

Your post reminded me of when my kids where small and everyone had them enrolled in soccer, baseball, etc. Only one percent are going to become professional athletes. The same goes for other careers. Our job is to tell the best stories we can -- and it really *is* none of our business what happens from there.Donnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788321265914678622.post-42688956981960199112016-02-16T06:25:57.617-07:002016-02-16T06:25:57.617-07:00Very nice, Aaron.

It's happening this August and I will be there.<br /><br />This is what she wrote:<br /><br />"Only a few will have their names written in history in ways that last decades, centuries, millennium. If you find that you are not one of them, then this is your path: the course of the human race is nudged and directed by the entirety of our species. So what you do today, the joy you bring to others, the contemplative speculation you inspire, it nudges us towards bringing joy to others, bringing the smolder, thinking more deeply, because we are inspired by you and what you share with us, and that, that push towards being greater than our parts is where your legacy lies."<br /><br />Aaron M.

We never know what the future will hold, but I do know what part of your legacy is, Aaron: it's all the writers you've inspired to keep doing what needs to be done.
