Thinking it is a very warm beautiful morning.

You know when you just notice something isn't quite right? Well, today, I had to pass a bridge, to get to a medical centre. A guy looked REAL deep in thought. But mainly upset. I got this psychic feeling, that I should stay near him, for some unknown reason, but I wasn't able to, because I had to be at the medical centre by a certain time. As I left the centre, there he was again, still in the same spot. I started wondering why anyone would just stand there for about three hours. I got curious, and asked him if he was alright. He looked tearful, and told me he just wanted someone to listen to him. "It's as if friends and family don't wanna know. They bury their heads in the sand!", is what he told me. Then he kept taking closer steps to the edge of the bridge. So we talked some more. He then thanked me for coming over to him. He told if he might have jumped off if it wasn't for me being concerned. He hugged me in quite an overwhelmed state. I gave him my number, just incase he tried to off himself ever again.

The Good Old Days.............People Over 40 Should Be Dead
According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, or even maybe the early 70's probably shouldn't have survived.
Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, ... and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention the risks we took hitchhiking.) As children, we would ride in cars with no seatbelts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors! We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on. No one was able to reach us all day.
NO CELL PHONES!!!!! Unthinkable!
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell phones, personal computers, or Internet chat rooms! . We had friends! We went outside and found them. We played dodge ball, and sometimes, the ball would really hurt. We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was to blame but us. Remember accidents?
We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rang the bell or just walked in and talked to them.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Some students weren't! as smart as others, so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade. Horrors! Tests were not adjusted for any reason.
Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law. Imagine that!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
How fortunate we were to grow up as kids before lawyers and burgeoning government regulated our lives, for our own good. How sorry I am for what those years of meddling have done to our children and grandchildren and even sorrier that we all allowed the government and politicians to get away with it!

I am thinking right at this very moment that at that moment on that bridge you both found something you needed.

(((((((Shy)))))))) You were there for a reason

Thankyou hun :) I just can't figure what the reason is. I just happened to be there at the time?

Because you were supposed to be there

He wanted/needed someone to listen and to give a s***... He waited in hope, someone like you, would indeed stop & listen...

((( Shy )))

MmmmK...

I am thinking 1j is thinking about the number 66...

Probably. It makes sense in a way. Would hate to think what could have happened if I didn't stop to talk to him

Wondering if it was instinctive, because I used to work as an ambulance nurse, and once volunteered to work for The Samaritans. Hmmmmmm. Well thanks. Hate to see people upset.
