Mortality sure does play tricks on us...and yes mental illness, poverty, and all the private evils that go along with living a lesser life than we deserve, can mess with our will to live. But I can speak from personal experience, I have had more than my fair share of devastation, mental illness & anguish. However, when one is gripped with possible terminal illness, and/or unspeakable physical pain...every one of us will fight with every breath within us for one more year...one more month...one more day....one more hour...one more minute.

Over my Fifty+ years here on this earth, I have learned one thing of absolute truth...'Death' makes 'Life' so very very important.
