Ten reasons NOT to commit suicide.

  1. Circumstances change (sometimes overnight). ‘Leaving’ too early before things have a chance to resolve themselves may be a big mistake.
  2. Someone somewhere needs you.
  3. Someone has to discover your body (which for them could lead to major trauma etc).
  4. Your story needs telling and the best person to tell it without exaggeration and accurately, is YOU.
  5. Someone has to deal with the aftermath. Your clothes, your personal effects etc. Not a pleasant task.
  6. Other people’s guilt. ‘I didn’t do enough to save/help him/her’.
  7. The positive contributions you could have made…GONE.
  8. The BAD/SAD example you leave behind.
  9. The young people in your family and their puzzlement, bewilderment and fear.
  10. You are leaving a ‘YOU’ shaped hole that no-one else can ever fill.

Operating from Stratford upon Avon, the Stratfordian/Ian Frederick Harris paints from his studio (shed) at the bottom of the garden where the rest of the gnomes, elves and fairy's dwell in an effort to escape the world's Orcs. On This website you will find his artwork, which at the very least proves he exists.
