Must an existence with neither goal nor accomplishment mean that one is marked for death. He walked a path that kept him content but never satisfied. His purpose was far greater than he realized. As human beings we have an animalistic need for survival. A man sitting in the desert with no water to parch his thirst or his misery still can mutter the phrase "well at least im still alive", for there are still pages in his book to be read. Our novels each have their plot twists, setbacks, and accomplishments. But if every reader closed their book and threw it away everytime they felt pain then most of us wouldnt get past the first chapter. I dont think you were the one who drove to the top of your your final conscious place. Although it was your truck and your body you werent behind that wheel. Sometimes our emotions enslave our rationality and they can cause us to do things that wouldnt enter our minds under normal conditions. Ive been cut deep by love just as most of us have, but i have far too many people that depend on my existence to make there lives that much easier to live. More people depended on him than he realized therefore removing his feeling of purpose. I couldnt imagine what it felt like at the top of that building at 3 in the morning. The air must have felt so cold and you must have felt so meaningless. But i dont think you killed yourself, but rather apathy was your bane. I will make sure those who you left behind find there purpose. You always be my friend, and little brother, And some day i will see you again. This is where your story ends, at least until your next book comes out.
thanks for listening,
