Rethinking Suicide

Not for me, so no, I'm not in trouble....

My step-brother committed suicide around the time of my birthday. If you've read this blog for any length of time, you know how I've spouted off and said I don't believe it's right, and given my reasons...

But..
What if I'm wrong?

I don't have the right to judge anyone. None of us really knows what's on the other side. We speculate and have opinions and beliefs, but none of us can really understand another's path. What if suicide was the path for someone? How can we really know?

When I talked to my step-mom, I didn't spout off to her. I tried to comfort her, instead. I'm sure she was feeling pretty bad already, and didn't need me to judge her or her son. She needed someone to say they heard her pain, and I did.

I do.

Pro Vs Chump

Putin is a Pro
Trump is a Chump

Putin knows how to manipulate. He's a master at it. When he threatens, he backs it up. He even kills people on foreign soil.

Trump threathens and blusters. There is no meat in his threats. Sure, he can fire you, but that might just be a blessing. Really, his threats are pretty empty.

Trump's in over his head. Problem is, he doesn't realize it. He thinks he's Putin's equal, but he isn't even close. He's an amateur.
