It was about midnight when my sister complained of the noise, right opposite our flat someone was screaming away. It definitely seemed like someone was intending to jump off the building. The police arrived shortly, followed by 2 mini fire-engines and a huge one. Then the ambulance. Somehow it felt like a television serial, only on the screen, I got to see such drama going on. Lot of nosy neighbors began to peer out of the windows, some even came out in their pajamas. After about 30-45 minutes, her scream finally died down and she was carried away in the stretcher, unhurt.
I can't imagine why would people like to end their life. Or maybe because I have never thought of doing it myself, so it never occurred to me that one sufficient reason could easily cause someone's death. Would someone kill themselves because they lost their loved one, had a divorce, was declared bankrupt, got some terminal illness or even because of something trivial e.g. failure of examination?! Unfortunately, these are often the reasons!
Suddenly, it made me think about what equals to happiness... and perhaps it means a different thing to all of us!
