When my husband came home from work last night, the very first question that popped from his mouth is, "If you have a new 30,000 dollar van with very organized interior, high tech gadgets inside, camping stuff, medical tools and paper works all were neatly arranged in the van and you are a doctor working in Harris Methodist Hospital, would you do it?"
At first I couldn't comprehend what he was talking about. As he went on with his story, he uttered that the first call he got in the morning was about a man who was successful in his career, mid 40s and described as skinny. In his van, police officers found a knot and a note on his dashboard telling "pls call my wife blah blah!".
You know what that doctor did to himself? He parked along the side of the bridge, tied himself with a knot, left the car idling and jump off the bridge. He committed suicide for some reason they don't know. My husband arrived at the crime scene and said the body was still there hanging but he chose not to see it, he have seen enough dead people so he doesn't need to see another one.
It's not the first time he told me about suicide. Actually, a couple times already. Some would pull a trigger in to their head or their mouth, some killed themselves by overdosing them because they were depressed or they have mountain of bills to pay that were too much to handle with them.
See, the lesson is. America is depressed! They do have everything,they do have every comfort they can get and yet they are sad inside. I can compare this to the poor people in the Philippines. Yes, we are generally poor over there but we manage to smile even though we are starving inside. We are not hard to please. We appreciate every little thing we have and no DEPRESSION doesn't exist in our minds.. not at all!

btw jud dw grabe ning american pagmaghirap na ky depressed2x dayon hala bisag unsa nlng inumon tambal pang anti-depressed ako sis-n-law mao resulta nagbulag tungod ky nagkalisod na mao lagi ng dli sanay sa hirap dli gusto moharap sa problema.
Hala sa? Dali ra gyud ni sila ma depress diri tungod kay dili sila happy like sa atua.
The thought is: Even if you have everything and you cannot find happiness, you have nothing.
There are very few people here who manage to be happy living in a simple life. Most of them want to get more for themselves...not valuing what they are getting.
We are happy people even if we are face struggles in our everyday lives. The family is the center of our happiness.
